Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

The Milky Way is not the serene, flat disc that textbook illustrations suggest. Astronomers have confirmed that the outer edges of our galaxy’s disc are warped and that this deformation rotates slowly ...

A mysterious region near the center of the Milky Way has captured the attention of astronomers. Known as Sagittarius C, this strange place holds thousands of newborn stars, huge clouds of gas, and ...

Astronomers mapping interstellar dust in three dimensions have identified a giant spherical void in the Milky Way, roughly ...

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.

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of ...

Scientists report a possible pulsar at the Milky Way’s center, discovered through radio observations by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Green Bank Telescope, offering a new laboratory for ...

Our home galaxy might be larger than we first assumed, astronomers have found. A new model of the Milky Way has revealed that our galaxy is wider than we thought, according to a new paper in the ...

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.
