The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of a "wandering" black hole about 5000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers estimate that there could be 100 million black holes wandering around our galaxy.

The only place that's likely to happen is at the very center of our galaxy. And, for a while, there was an excess of radiation coming from the galactic core that people thought might be due to dark matter annihilations, although it eventually turned out to have a more mundane explanation.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with millions of synthetic images to uncover surprising new insights into Sagittarius A*,

In summer, we face toward the Milky Way's hub in the Teapot constellation, home to the galaxy's supermassive black hole.

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star about every million years or so. But when it happens, it releases a tremendous amount of light and energy visible millions or even billions of light-years away.

They often twirl around heavier ones, like our Milky Way, as satellite dancers. The dark matter distribution of a Milky Way mass h

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper into space and further back in time than any previous instrument, it has begun to uncover celestial secrets that defy long-standing scientific models.

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate.

Astronomers using JWST and other telescopes found a supermassive black hole floating between two colliding galaxies — not in either galaxy center, but embedded in shocked gas. Why it matters: If confirmed,
