For years, the center of our galaxy has been painted as a place where stars go to meet their end — a region ruled by ...

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ...

A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's ...

Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and ...

A near-infrared view of the stars near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. - ESO / S. Gillessen et al. Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with ...

James Webb Space Telescope observes mid-infrared flare from Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, revealing flare evolution, synchrotron cooling, and magnetic field measurements.

Astronomers have discovered 53 new supermassive black hole-powered quasars that are blasting out jets of matter at near light ...

A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide. Its host galaxy is a quasar called ...

An international research team led by PD Dr. Florian Peissker at the University of Cologne has used the new observation ...

The center of the Milky Way twinkles in microwave radiation, seen in new data obtained by astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. This study could help ...

Scientists have discovered two gargantuan radio bubbles at the center of the Milky Way, near the galaxy's supermassive black holes. These never-before-seen structures are believed to have formed ...

In fact, these jets often expand into wide plumes or “lobes” that fan out far above and below their host galaxies. The jets ...
