Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

The object at the Milky Way’s center has long been treated as a settled case: a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* ...

Previous observations of stars whipping around an unseen mass—especially a bright star called S2—have pointed to an object ...

New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

For decades, the motions of stars near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy have been treated as some of the clearest evidence for a supermassive black hole.

At the center of our galaxy, something incredibly heavy is pulling the strings. Stars ...

Saul Hernandez, a New Mexico State University senior studying physics and linguistics with a minor in astronomy, has turned recycled materials into a backyard radio telescope capable of detecting the ...

The canonical image of a supermassive spacetime abyss anchored at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is challenged by a radical proposition emerging from an international study published in ...
