Black holes themselves emit no light, but the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies are often surrounded by huge clouds of material. It's this material, heated by friction and gravity as ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, called Sagittarius A*, is about four times more massive than this one. White dwarfs are among the most compact objects in the cosmos ...
