Located just a tenth of a light-year from the heart of our Milky Way galaxy where the Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole resides, the proximity of the cluster to the enormous black hole's powerful gravitational pull means that it shouldn't have much structure. But after in...
One research group has found supporting evidence that a massive black hole lurks at the heart of the Milky Way. The other group, studying light emitted by a star orbiting an unseen, compact object some 6,000 light-years from Earth, has deduced that the hidden object is a black hole about...

Black hole, cosmic body of extremely intense gravity from which nothing, not even light, can escape. It can be formed by the death of a massive star wherein its core gravitationally collapses inward upon itself, compressing to a point of zero volume and
If aprimordial black holein the Milky Way passes between Earth and a background star, then we should see microlensing effects on that star for a brief period of time. "Microlensing occurs when three objects — an observer on Earth, a source of light, and a lens — virtually ideally alig...
In 1974 American astronomers Bruce Balick and Robert Brown pointed radio telescopes in Green Bank, W. Va., at the center of the Milky Way and discovered a dim speck they suspected was our galaxy’s central black hole. They found the speck in a slice of sky known as...
