First images of Milky Way’s black hole released 02:13. The iconic 2019 image of a supermassive black hole that has since been dubbed the "orange donut" has gotten a makeover.

Astronomers have witnessed a distant supermassive black hole devouring its surrounding matter so rapidly that it is "burping" out excess mass at nearly a third of the speed of light.

Supermassive black holes are classified as having masses more than 100,000 times that of our sun. They can be found at the center of most galaxies, including the Milky Way.

Sagittarius A*—the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way—is presently in a dormant state, although astronomers believe that it did have large-scale radio jets in the past.

Finding supermassive black holes with masses billions of times greater than the sun under a billion years after the Big Bang has scientists confused how these cosmic titans got so big so quickly.

Two teams of researchers studying a galaxy through NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have made multiple discoveries, including spotting the most distant active supermassive black hole ever found.

The first image of a black hole, released by astronomers in 2019, was astonishing, amazing, awe-inspiring and all that jazz, but it was also (to be perfectly frank) blurry.Even to the astronomers ...
