Of the thousands of single-star systems in our galaxy, around 10% are known to have planets. Scientists thus expected about ...
Astronomers propose that instead of a black hole, another dark object could be dominating the Milky Way's center.
A new radio survey reveals that the Milky Way’s magnetic field is intricate, widespread, and deeply connected to how the galaxy is organized.
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.
Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...
For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), ...
Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...
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*.
Milky Way stars that are high and low in metallicity have been mapped by the ESA Gaia mission. Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC ...
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.
There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...
The theory explains the violent dance of stars around the galactic center.
