These observations in combination with the infrared interferometry experiment GRAVITY at the very large telescope interferometer and other experiments across the electromagnetic spectrum might yield proof for the presence of a black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The large body of evidence ...
The gravitational wave detectors have shown a population of massive black holes that do not resemble those observed in the Milky Way1–3 and whose origin is debated4–6. According to a possible explanation, these black holes may have formed from density

Milky Way (redirected fromMilkyway) Thesaurus Encyclopedia Milky Way n. 1.The galaxy containing the sun, solar system, and all of the individually visible stars in the night sky, along with various nebulae, star clusters, and dust clouds, thought to have a super-massive black hole at its ce...
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...
New observationsoffering the closest view yet of the heart of the Milky Way present strongevidence for the black hole theory, and even hope of finally settling thequestion soon. By linking a series of radio telescopes around the world,astronomers created a virtual telescope with the resolving ...
The first image of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy.Credit: Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration Astronomers have at long last seen the center of the Milky Way galaxy, unmasking a giant black hole, a celestial vortex 26,000 light-years from Earth that should otherw...
The Milky Way Galaxy was one of two trillion galaxies believed to exist. The number of stars it contained was variously estimated to be over three billion to over four hundred billion stars. It generated its own magnetic field, which experienced dips and

For the last several years, Melia has been developing a theory of what may be going on very close to the Milky Way's black hole. Melia and his group find that powerful, chaotic magnetic fields accelerate protons and other particles near the black hole to extremely high energies. ...
