Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope spotted surprisingly cold, dense hydrogen clouds embedded inside the Milky Way’s ...

At the heart of a black hole lies what’s called a “singularity” — a point where our laws of physics break down, and gravity becomes infinite. But the defining edge of a black hole is the event horizon ...

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, likely rotates at maximum speed.

Astronomers have discovered a massive black hole jet that is three times bigger than the Milky Way. The jet is known as Quasar J1601+3102, and it was first spotted by astronomers using the Low ...

While good news for the Milky Way galaxy, the latest forecast may be moot for humanity. "We likely won't live to see the benefit," lead author Till Sawala of the University of Helsinki said in an ...

The collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies that scientists believed was inevitable has a much lower probability than previously thought. The Associated Press reported Monday that ...

What does the Milky Way look like? Sometimes, the billions of stars comprising our home galaxy appear especially vibrant during “Milky Way season” as the band arcs across the night sky.

But the only way to get to a new prediction about the eventual fate of the Milky Way will be with even better data.” DOI: Nature Astronomy, 2025. 10.1038/s41550-025-02563-1 (About DOIs).

The universe might not meet its end for another quinvigintillion years, but our galaxy's fate teeters on a far less certain line. New research shows that there's a 50% chance that the Milky Way ...

Milky Way's chance of colliding with Andromeda? New study puts odds at 50-50 For this new study, the scientists relied on updated galaxy measurements to factor in the gravitational pull on the ...
