Researchers have found that the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*, is spinning so rapidly that it is altering the fabric of space-time around it.

A Hubble Space Telescope view of the globular star cluster, Messier 4, home to several hundred thousand densely-packed stars. Astronomers now suspect that a black hole weighing as much as 800 ...

First up is WR 124, a type of star called a Wolf-Rayet which is a potential precursor to a black hole. As these old, massive stars come to the end of their lives, they start throwing off layers of ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a runaway supermassive black hole racing through space followed by a tail of infant stars 200,000 light-years long.

The lonely black hole has been traveling space ever since, and it is now followed by a tail of stars an astonishing 200,000 light-years long. That’s twice as long as the Milky Way is wide.

The space object was found to be in orbit with the newly discovered PSR J0514-4002E pulsar, which rotates 170 times per second, according to radio light transmitted to Earth and documented by the ...

By looking at radio waves and X-ray emissions, a team of physicists has found the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* to be spinning— and altering space-time around it.

When a black hole spins, it drags the surrounding space-time around with it. This drag effect is an example of Lense-Thirring precession. ... Pretty slow–for a black hole.

Now, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers may have cracked this puzzle, finding the first evidence of a supermassive black hole at the heart of M83, also known as NGC 5236, a ...

NASA finds supermassive black hole called ‘Space Jaws:’ Why it deserves sci-fi horror name A sneaky black hole was the source of a tidal disruption event that was so large and so bright that ...

This could explain why Sgr A*, with its mass equivalent to around 4.5 million suns, has a spin speed between 0.84 and 0.96 but the rapidly feeding supermassive black hole at the heart of galaxy ...
