Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark matter exerting the same gravitational influence, astronomers say. They ...

Hidden deep within the Milky Way, a surprising discovery has been made: over 100 black holes tucked away in the Palomar 5 stellar stream. For years, scientists speculated about their existence, but it ...

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.

A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass ...

Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron ...

For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

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 ...

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...

Astronomers have spotted the most massive known stellar black hole in the Milky Way galaxy after detecting an unusual wobble in space. The so-called "sleeping giant," named Gaia BH3, has a mass that ...

If confirmed, this disappearing act might provide the closest and best observational evidence for the birth of a black hole ...

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.
