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

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

Astronomers have for the first time imaged the powerful magnetic fields that dwell around the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*.

The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a collision with the Milky Way is inevitable.

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.

New research shows that the Milky Way's supermassive black hole is spinning faster than we expected, dragging space-time with it.

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. They found the ...

Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the ...

Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on the complex physics ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have spotted what appear to be two stars whipping around each other near the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Nearly every large galaxy ...

Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.
