New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.

For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is the central anchor point for the galactic disk and its surrounding ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. See W.M. Keck Observatory imagery of X7 ...

A striking new image of our Milky Way's center, captured by the European Southern Observatory's ALMA, spans more than 650 ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

A telescope in Chile unveiled our galaxy's core with unmatched clarity, revealing star-forming gases around a supermassive ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

A telescope in Chile, part of the ALMA network, captured unprecedented details of star-forming gases at the center of the Milky Way. This image, the largest of its kind, reveals cold cosmic gases and ...

Astronomers have dived into the turbulent and chaotic heart of the Milky Way, discovering hidden chemistry around our galaxy's supermassive black hole.
