But at 25,000 light-years away, the highly energetic and variable activity of the Milky Way’s central black hole isn’t a concern, Morris said.
The researchers do modeling to estimate that the material in the jets is moving at roughly 0.012 times the speed of light, meaning it would take over half a billion years to reach its present size ...
I first decided to be an astronomer when I was 13 years old and read a book about space. I have always loved stories, and the story of the universe is the biggest and grandest one we have. I ...
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spied dynamic flares of light near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The constant, rapid-fire display ...
