Sagittarius A*

The Webb telescope reveals secrets of Sagittarius C.

The discovery more than doubled the number of intermediate-mass black holes we'd seen before.

With radio and infrared telescopes, astronomers can pierce the dusty veil of our galaxy and map its farthest reaches

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the earliest supermassive black hole-driven quasar wind ever seen, pushing away matter at 6,000 times the speed of...

We're not dealing with a 'cosmic vacuum cleaner' situation.

Event Horizon Telescope's newest advancements are 'a stepping stone to full color, high-definition movies of black holes.'

A missing link black hole that sits in the mass gap between stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes is "parked" right by the Milky Way's...

This is not a rerun of last week's roundup; another group of astronomers found a second intermediate-mass black hole in the Milky Way and I can't avoid highlighting it. They're cool! They may have formed in the primordial universe, they comprise the seeds of supermassive black holes, and may be formed by the accretion of multiple stars in a cluster rather than through stellar collapse.

Astronomers have found evidence for an intermediate-mass black hole in IRS 13, a population of dusty stellar objects within the nuclear star cluster of our Milky Way Galaxy.

An international team of astronomers studied more than 500 images of the Omega Centauri globular cluster taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, an effort originally intended to...

Stars shouldn't form that close to the black hole, so these would need explaining.

A gargantuan "exhaust vent" may be channeling hot gas away from the Milky Way's supermassive black hole at millions of miles per hour — and filling up two enormous bubbles that tower over the galaxy.

Hubble has mapped the outflow "burps" of a nearby feeding supermassive black hole-powered quasar for the first time, measuring speeds of 6.5 million mph...

How do astronomers find the darkest objects in the universe?

NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope has spotted the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy erupting, proving even quiet black holes like...

"This work is a unique collaboration between astronomers and computer scientists advancing cutting-edge computational tools from both the fields of AI and gravitational physics."

Astronomers have detected a black hole positioned roughly 2,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquila. It was identified through the Gaia mission.

European astronomers have confirmed the existence of Gaia BH3, a previously unknown stellar black hole. BH3 is the most massive stellar black hole discovered in the Milky...

While I was assembling and formatting all these links, we had a 4.8-magnitude earthquake here on the East Coast, so apologies in advance for any misaligned text. This week: Gravitationally accelerated stars! AIs that exhibit cooperative and selfish behaviors! And another edition of "Would You Eat This?"

Scientists using the Event Horizon Telescope imaged the polarized light from our Milky Way's black hole for the first time. Learn more about what that means. The post BREAKING! Milky Way's black hole in new image first appeared on EarthSky.
