For the first time, astronomers may have imaged the cool disk of gas surrounding the gigantic black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, a new study finds.

This remarkable space wallpaper shows an artist’s impression depicts the newly discovered stellar-mass black hole in the spiral galaxy NGC 300.

Now, new observations are hinting at the presence of never-before-seen cooler regions of the disk surrounding the Milky Way’s central black hole, opening a new window on our galaxy’s dark heart.

The researchers suggest that the supermassive black hole may be pushing out these super-fast and cool winds, ripping away the gas needed for stars to form and starving the galaxy to death.

A bright streak stretching away from a remote galaxy might be the light from stolen gas and new stars caught in the wake of an escaping black hole.

The Event Horizon Telescope has obtained the first image of the long-theorized supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1022, located in the constellation of Cetus. Scientists are observing this particular galaxy in order to study ...

Astronomers have spotted an apparent supermassive black hole snacking on a star 600 million light-years away, wandering through a galaxy with an even larger black hole at its core.

Black Hole at Galaxy's Heart Launches Planet-Size 'Spitballs' The massive object at the Milky Way’s core is shredding stars and tossing out their remnants, new simulations suggest.

A suspicious trail of starlight may just be a spiral galaxy seen edge on, not stars that formed in the wake of a runaway supermassive black hole.

It has been suspected for some time that there is a supermassive black hole located at the center of our galaxy, named Sagittarius A*. Now scientists have uncovered more evidence about the black ...

Distant galaxy has no more stars being born as a supermassive black hole strips away all the gas needed to forge them.
