Scientists have unlocked the 3D structure of molecular clouds in the Milky Way’s center, using a groundbreaking X-ray technique. These cosmic clouds, vital for star formation, were illuminated by past ...

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 ...

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

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

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's super Neptune! But this Superman-mimicking planet is not blasting through space on its own. It is being dragged along by its parent star.

In 1920, astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis held a Great Debate. Shapley argued that the spiral nebulae were small and in the Milky Way, while Curtis took a more radical position that they ...

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 ...

Scientists have found the highest-energy cosmic neutrino called a "ghost particle" at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea ...

Astronomers trace the striking pattern to an encounter between a big galaxy and a much smaller one some 50 million years ago.

"History shows us that whenever you do open a new 'energy window,' you never really know what you're going to find. It's completely unexplored." ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Discovers a Cosmic Bullseye, Found to Be a Galaxy With Star-Filled Rings Astronomers observed a unique image of a galactic collision between galaxies which created a ...

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