The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a ...

Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of ...

Located approximately 27,000 light-years (one light year equals approximately nine trillion kilometres) from Earth — relatively close when it comes to galactic black holes — Sag A* has an estimated ...

Once the two galaxies are merged, the supermassive hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud – if black hole there is – will make its way to the galactic center, where it will eventually, after many more ...

The first fragments of the Milky Way came together soon ... this warping is caused by an ongoing collision with another smaller galaxy – likely the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, which has smashed ...

From detecting ‘ghosts’ of other galaxies and multiple streams of ancient stars that merged with the Milky Way in its early history, to finding evidence for an ongoing collision with the Sagittarius ...

In the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, two gigantic "bubbles" extend roughly 50,000 light-years above and below the galactic ...

Astronomers detect signs of a massive, invisible black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which may collide with the Milky ...

For many observers, the Milky Way’s prime attraction is the northern galactic bulge from the Large Sagittarius Star Cloud up to the territory of Aquila the Eagle. Northern Hemisphere observers ...
