Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope spotted surprisingly cold, dense hydrogen clouds embedded inside the Milky Way’s ...

The Milky Way galaxy, home to our solar system, is no stranger to the vast cosmic forces that shape the universe. Yet, an exciting discovery has unveiled an even more dramatic future: the Milky ...

The Large Magellanic Cloud, a close neighbor to the Milky Way, may house a giant black hole. It's the closest supermassive black hole outside of our galaxy.

Astronomers spent 50 hours using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO's) Very Large Telescope in Chile to map out the ...

The galaxy has also been estimated to contain 10 times more dark matter than the Milky Way is believed to—material crucial for the stability of its fast-spinning disc.

The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a collision with the Milky Way is inevitable.

NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have spotted what appear to be two stars whipping around each other near the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Nearly every large galaxy ...

NEW YORK — Scientists have spotted what appear to be two stars whipping around each other near the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.

This image released by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration, May 12, 2022, shows a black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way black hole is called Sagittarius A*, near the ...
