The supermassive black hole in our galaxy is unpredictable - study

Sagittarius A* lies in the galactic center of the Milky Way and is a known source of radio waves, gamma rays and X-rays. But its irregular bursts follow no discernible pattern.

NASA throws stars at black hole to see what happens - study

Every single star began to be stretched and deformed by gravity as they approached the black hole. Some survived, others underwent a horrific cosmic catastrophe.

Black hole discovered hiding in nearby star cluster - study

The discovery was the result of a new methodology that could hopefully help find other, hidden black holes in nearby galaxies, or even in the Milky Way itself.

Scientists find a black hole moving at 110,000 mph throughout its galaxy

One possibility is that it is interacting with another black hole that seems hidden in the galaxy 230 million light-years away, as it lacks certain properties to become visible.
