The predicted collision and merger of our galaxy with our nearby neighbor could be up to the flip of a coin.

The mystery object, located just a short 15,000 light-years from Earth in our Milky Way galaxy, was spotted emitting unusual pulses.

Hundreds of lines made from a multitude of gases have been discovered extending outward from the black hole at the center of our galaxy.

By looking at radio waves and X-ray emissions, a team of physicists has found the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* to be spinning— and altering space-time around it.

Human beings for millennia have gazed with awe at the vast torrent of stars - bright and dim - shining in Earth's night sky that comprise the Milky Way. Our home galaxy, however, is now being ...
