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.

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.

Our project will increase the spatial resolution reachable in the optical by thousands, opening new fields of investigation in astronomy in general. For instance, images could be obtained of the ...
