New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the supermassive black hole Sagittarius 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 ...

Scientists mapped 650 light-years of the Milky Way’s core to examine star formation in one of the galaxy’s most extreme environments.

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.
