"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength." ...

For years, the center of our galaxy has been painted as a place where stars go to meet their end — a region ruled by ...

Astronomers have discovered 53 new supermassive black hole-powered quasars that are blasting out jets of matter at near light ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

The center of the Milky Way twinkles in microwave radiation, seen in new data obtained by astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. This study could help ...

Researchers are finding out more about a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, discovering that it has been leaking gases for several thousand years and is not the sleeping ...

A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide. Its host galaxy is a quasar called ...

James Webb Space Telescope observes mid-infrared flare from Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, revealing flare evolution, synchrotron cooling, and magnetic field measurements.

A near-infrared view of the stars near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. - ESO / S. Gillessen et al. Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with ...

New Chandra X-ray study finds many dwarf galaxies may not host central massive black holes, challenging long-held assumptions about galaxy formation and black hole origins ...

Most smaller galaxies may not have supermassive black holes in their centers, according to a recent study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This contrasts with the common idea that nearly every ...

Astronomers unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole 25,640 light years away, at the center of our own galaxy earlier today in a special edition of the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
