Supermassive Black Hole Found Tipped Onto Its Side by Mystery Event
In the center of NGC 5084, some 80 million light-years away, the supermassive black hole around which the whole galaxy revolves has been discovered tipped over on its side, with its rotational axis parallel to the galactic plane.
There could be planets around the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy, scientists say
There could be planets around the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy – and we may be ready to find them, scientists say. The finding not only sheds light on such stars, and how they might be able to survive such extreme environments.
First-ever binary star found near our galaxy's supermassive black hole
An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. It is the first time a stellar pair has been found in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole.
Two stars may be orbiting each other near a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy
