"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." ...

Black holes are more common than you may think. There’s even one in our galaxy. Close enough for scientists to actually observe its destructive nature. Produced by Kevin Reilly and Rebecca ...

A new study led by Emmanuel Mossoux confirms that a supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way— Sagittarius A* — is more active. It supports earlier observations that the normally ...

Japanese astronomers are among an international research team that successfully captured the first image of a black hole at the center of the Milky Way, which could shed light on the formation of ...

Thousands of these stellar-mass black holes may lurk within our own Milky Way galaxy. Supermassive black holes, predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, can have masses equal to ...
