Lying at the very heart of the Milky Way is asupermassive black holecalled Sagittarius A*. About 4 million times the mass of the sun, this beast consumes anything that strays too close, gorging on an ample supply of stellar material enabling it to grow into a giant. In 2022, weimaged t...
Milky Way Galaxy - Star populations and movement: The concept of different populations of stars has undergone considerable change over the last several decades. Before the 1940s, astronomers were aware of differences between stars and had largely account

At the center of our galaxy, approximately 26,000 light-years away, is a supermassive black hole. Scientists have long theorized that there must be gas and dust orbiting the black hole which gather together in an accretion disk. Now astronomers have obse
