A sweeping new ALMA image has peeled back the veil on the Milky Way’s core, exposing a dense network of cold gas filaments ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. At the same time several telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory ...

Astronomers have finally captured an image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Because black holes emit no light and appear extremely small from Earth, ...

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.

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 ...

Gravitational lenses could allow us to find black hole binaries long before we're able to measure their gravitational waves.

New ALMA observations reveal a complex network of gas filaments in the Milky Way’s central 650 light-years, enabling detailed studies of star formation in extreme galactic conditions.

Scientists mapped 650 light-years of the Milky Way’s core to examine star formation in one of the galaxy’s most extreme environments.

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

The Milky Way’s centre looks nothing like the calm band of starlight you see from a dark hillside. In a new, ultra-wide radio mosaic, the region turns into a tangle of cold, threadlike gas structures.
