A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

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

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of ...

First images of Milky Way’s black hole released 02:13. Astronomers have discovered powerful "twisted" magnetic fields spiraling around the black hole that sits at the center of the Milky Way ...

Still, she said, the two black holes are very different from one another — for one thing, the Milky Way's black hole isn't as voracious. "The one in M87 is accumulating matter at a significantly ...

Supermassive black hole mergers occur when entire galaxies merge together. Bumps and kinks in the Milky Way's disk indicate it likely collided with at least a dozen galaxies during the past 12 ...

An artist’s illustration depicts the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*. It’s surrounded by a swirling accretion disk of hot gas and dust.

An image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, a behemoth dubbed Sagittarius A*, revealed by the Event Horizon Telescope on May 12, 2022.

But the Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A*, is actually much smaller than the first and was more difficult to see, since it required peering through the hazy disk of our galaxy.
