You have our attention. The post The Object at the Core of the Milky Way Might Not Be a Black Hole at All, Scientists Say ...

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...

New research suggests that the core of our galaxy may not be a supermassive black hole, but a colossal clump of dark matter.

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 supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.

For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), ...

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.

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.

Our project will increase the spatial resolution reachable in the optical by thousands, opening new fields of investigation in astronomy in general. For instance, images could be obtained of the ...
