The black hole at the center of the Milky Way, called Sag A*, is much less active than those at the center of other galaxies. A new study points to a simple answer: heat.Spotts, Peter N
2022. 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. (Xinhua/Jin ...
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 our Milky Way galaxy where the Sagittar...

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, known as Sagittarius A*. (Image credit: NASA/CXC/Univ. of Wisconsin/Y.Bai. et al.) 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...
The EHT managed to image the black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, Sagittarius A*, as well as the black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy M87, M87* — marking the first two black hole images captured by humanity — because it has a huge baseline. Think of the...
