The center of the Milky Way is an extreme place. In addition to housing our galaxy's supermassive black hole, it also ...
Scientists using the ALMA telescope have created the most-detailed-ever map of the Milky Way's chaotic center. The observations could open a window to the ancient universe as it appeared shortly after ...
What: Researchers report the possible discovery of a millisecond pulsar near the Galactic Center using data from the ...
A team of astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope has detected a faint but tantalizing signal from the center of the Milky Way: a possible millisecond pulsar spinning once every 8.19 milliseconds, ...
The center of our Milky Way galaxy is a mysterious place. Not only is it thousands of light-years away, it’s also cloaked in so much dust that most stars within are rendered invisible. Harvard ...
Near the crowded heart of the Milky Way, the James Webb Space Telescope has picked out a dense, turbulent pocket of gas that behaves like a hidden factory for newborn suns. By resolving this ...
Using archived science verification data from the Hokupa’a/QUIRC Adaptive Optics system on Gemini North, a French/US team of astronomers led by Jean-Pierre Maillard of the Institut d’Astrophysique de ...
A detailed infrared view of the Galactic Center region of our Milky Way Galaxy. These infrared images are sensitive to the presently forming massive stars there as well as the emission from cool ...
The center of the Milky Way is on display during summer evenings, arcing slowly through the southern sky. The galactic center is located near the magnitude 4.5 star 3 Sagittarii, which sits just 4.7° ...
What can wandering black holes teach scientists about the formation and evolution of black holes throughout the universe? This is what a recent study accepted for publication in The Astrophysical ...
A view of the center of our galaxy shows the Sagittarius C (Sgr C) region, where cold dust (magenta) and warmer gas and dust (cyan) surround a cluster of massive stars. The stars generate high-speed ...
