For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...

A new theoretical proposal argues that the massive object sitting at the center of our galaxy may not be a black hole at all, but rather a dense clump of fermionic dark matter with no event horizon.

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...

Additionally, the dark matter theory could explain another galactic phenomenon: why stars at the outskirts of the Milky Way ...

New research suggests that the core of our galaxy may not be a supermassive black hole, but a colossal clump of dark matter.

The legendary Hubble Space Telescope is facing a silent crisis as orbital decay pulls it closer to a fiery end in Earth's atmosphere. The Dog Star: By NASA, H.E. Bond and E. Nelan (Space Telescope ...

Previous observations of stars whipping around an unseen mass—especially a bright star called S2—have pointed to an object ...

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*), ...

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 ...
