The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

Astronomers have spotted a bright 'hot spot' swirling around the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).

The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a collision with the Milky Way is inevitable.

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. They found the ...

New research shows that the Milky Way's supermassive black hole is spinning faster than we expected, dragging space-time with it.

An image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, which scientists think is spinning as fast as it possibly can.

Supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* is spinning nearly as fast as it can, dragging the very fabric of space-time with it and shaping the heart of the Milky Way.

Researchers find binary stars orbiting near Milky Way's supermassive black hole “Black holes are not as destructive as we thought,” the study's lead author said.

Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.
