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 ...

Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from ...

Sagitarrius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, has been found to be spinning — and dragging space-time along with it. European Southern Observatory/EHT Collaboration.

Dozens of 'wandering' black holes could be tumbling through our galaxy right now, new simulations hint. ... Our own supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, has a mass of 4.5 million suns.

There are gargantuan 'supermassive' black holes like the one at our galaxy's center, 26,000 light years from Earth, which is four million times the sun's mass.

A newly discovered black hole has been hiding in a cluster containing thousands of stars in our neighboring Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. The black hole is 160,000 light-years away from Earth ...

Even the next most massive stellar black hole known in our galaxy, Cygnus X-1, only reaches 21 solar masses, making this new 33-solar-mass observation exceptional [1].

If our sun were replaced with a black hole of the same mass, our solar system would orbit similarly to how it does now, but it would be a lot colder. We don’t know what matter looks like inside ...

The Milky Way has millions of small black holes and one giant supermassive black hole at its center. But does the galaxy have any medium-sized black holes? New research suggests the answer is yes: ...

That's when they got the famous picture of the black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, which they released in 2019. M87 is 55 million light years away from us and contains the mass of six and ...

It’s also one of the three largest known black holes in our galaxy, though not the closest, as Gaia BH1 is only roughly 1,500 light-years away. Image source: unlimit3d / Adobe.

The Milky Way’s supermassive black hole contributes just 1/5,000th of the mass, and 1/5,000th the gravitational attraction, from the center of our galaxy. The black hole cannot suck us in, any ...
