Supermassive black hole mergers occur when entire galaxies merge together. Bumps and kinks in the Milky Way's disk indicate it likely collided with at least a dozen galaxies during the past 12 ...

This black hole is estimated to weigh around 600,000 solar masses, significantly smaller than the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, which weighs about 4.3 ...

For example, astronomers have observed unusual motions of stars and unexplained mass distributions within it, which could be the result of the gravitational pull of a central black hole. In other ...

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of our home Milky Way galaxy. It has a mass equal to billions of suns and has an accretion disk made up of gas and dust surrounding it.

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of ...

An illustration comparing the Milky Way with 2MASX J23453268−0449256. Bagchi and Ray et al. / Hubble Space Telescope. The extreme black hole is not the only unusual feature of 2MASX J23453268− ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

What's New. Astronomers have observed a binary star system orbiting near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The discovery of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), published ...

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 ...

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the ...
