"It forces us to rethink how galaxies evolve, and how supermassive black holes grow in them and shape their environments," Dhiwar explained. So far, observations gathered by the Hubble Space ...

Flickers and Flares: Milky Way's Central Black Hole Constantly Bubbles With Light Feb. 18, 2025 — Astrophysicists have observed our central supermassive black hole. They found the accretion disk ...

These were the longest continuous observations yet of our galaxy’s central supermassive black hole. The telescope revealed a “constant bubbling” in the disk’s light that changed every few ...

A rare instance of a supermassive black hole merger has been observed, resulting in a black hole exhibiting an unusually high proper motion. The New Scientist reported that this event holds ...

A study based on the trajectory of nine fast-moving stars observed at the fringes of the Milky Way provides strong evidence for the existence of a supermassive black hole inside the Large ...
