Porphyrion’s massive jets extend in polar directions from a supermassive black hole that lays in the center of a galaxy about 10 times the size of the Milky Way roughly 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. These deluges of energy extend around 40 percent further than the previous largest-kno...
At simultaneous press conferences around the world on Thursday (12 May), including at the Wits Planetarium at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way gal...
Chinese scientists have contributed to the global effort that captured the world's first image of Sagittarius A, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, according to the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of...
Astronomers have spotted a rare "'missing link"' black hole, and it's lurking right in the center of our galaxy. The IRS 13 star cluster has long been a puzzle for astronomers. Located just a tenth of a light-year from the heart of ourMilky Waygalaxy where the Sagittarius ...
When the monster back hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy belched out an exceptionally high number of powerful X-ray flares last year, it made astronomers wonder — is this a sign that the beast chowed down on a passing gas cloud, or is this lack of cosmic etiquette typical for...
Astronomers revealed the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy on Thursday. The image was produced by a global research team called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), using observations from a worldwide network of radio telescopes. It is the first di...
Object:the Milky Way’s black hole Food source:big, gassy stars Our galaxy’s central black hole is a fussbudget, refusing to eat most of what it pulls to its lips because the food is too hot. Spitting out its meals may not only stunt its growth – the finicky black hole may also ...
The colossal black hole at the centre of our galaxy was blasting out a million times more energy 350 years ago than it is today, a European Space Agency telescope has revealed. The dramatic discovery suggests it might well flare up again in the future. O

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spied dynamic flares of light near thesupermassive black holeat the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The constant, rapid-fire display includes seconds-long short flashes and longer, blindingly bright flares of light on a daily basis. The Webb ...
