The Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A* Abhishek Joshi / UIUC Black holes keep their secrets close. They imprison forever anything that enters. Light itself can’t escape a black hole’s hungry pull.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a fleeting, spectral flash from the Milky Way’s central black hole, a signal that cuts through dust and distance to reveal fresh detail about one of the ...

Astronomers have unveiled the first wild but fuzzy image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. Nearly all galaxies, including our own, are believed to have these ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

The black hole at the Milky Way’s heart neither slumbers nor sleeps. Instead, the ring of plasma surrounding it flickers constantly, punctuated by superbright flares, observations show. Astronomers ...

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 ...

AI has helped astronomers crack open some of the universe s best-kept secrets by analyzing massive datasets about black holes. Using over 12 million simulations powered by high-throughput computing, ...

Why they're black: Their gravitational pull is so extreme that even light can't escape Black holes are places where gravity is so powerful that nothing — not even light — can escape. Rather than being ...

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 ...
