The Milky Way galaxy, home to Earth, the Sun and billions of other celestial bodies has a supermassive black hole. The black hole, with its unimaginably massive gravitational pull, holds the entire galaxy together, which in turn, revolves around the black hole (Sagittarius A*).

A strange star near Milky Way's black hole may have extra-galactic origin: Study

In a new study, scientists have found that the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, which is located at the centre of our galaxy, has been spinning rapidly as well as altering space-time around it.

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA researchers have identified an ancient galaxy in the early universe that hosts an actively feeding central black hole. This black hole is remarkably massive, accounting for approximately half of the galaxy's total mass.

Oldest black hole was formed 470 million years after Big Bang, and it has just been found

Our Milky Way Galaxy has billions of stars and planets. And at the centre, there is a supermassive black hole with unimaginable gravity that's holding the entire mass of stars and planets in place.

Milky Way's black hole is spinning incredibly fast, say scientists

In a breakthrough more than two decades in the making, scientists have identified a supermassive black hole residing in the Messier 87 galaxy, located a staggering 55 million light-years away.

A spinning supermassive black hole found in a distant galaxy reinforces one of Einstein's theories

In a first, astronomers have discovered the first direct evidence which proves the spinning of a black hole.

Astronomers capture first direct evidence of black hole spinning

In a first, astronomers have discovered the first direct evidence which proves the spinning of a black hole. The observations gave astronomers new insights regarding enigmatic celestial objects, as the scientists focussed on the supermassive black hole which is present at the centre of the neighbouring Messier 87 (M87) galaxy.

A star, which is similar to the sun, and is being “repeatedly shredded and consumed” by a black hole around 500m light years away has been spotted by astronomers.

A new study has claimed that time passed only about a fifth as quickly as it does today due to dilation in the early universe. The scientists arrived at the conclusion after observing a ferocious class of black holes called quasars.

Scientists witness 'time dilation' in early universe, claims new research

Scientists have discovered two super massive black holes merging in distant galaxies. NASA has also recorded the sound emitted by the super massive black holes. What does a black hole sound like? Molly Gambhir tells you more.

Astronomers across the world announce that they have found the first evidence of a long-theorised form of gravitational waves that create a background hum rumbling throughout the universe. The breakthrough was made by hundreds of scientists using radio telescopes in North America, Europe, China, India and Australia after years of work.

In a remarkable revelation, scientists have observed that our closest supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, has emerged from a prolonged state of dormancy and intensified its luminosity by a factor of a million.

A team of researchers, led by Chinese scientists has managed to simulate the physics of black holes by using quantum computing. They said the test was an attempt toward creating systems that have properties 'analogous to black holes'.

Scientists have claimed that if Earth ever fell into a black hole – the scariest feature of the universe which has such intense gravity that even light fails to get out – then the human body is likely to turn into the shape of a "long pasta".

Human body will stretch 'like a long pasta' if Earth ever falls into black hole, claim scientists

Astronomers obtained the first image of a strong jet being propelled into intergalactic space from the edge of a black hole's event horizon. The event horizon is a black hole's spherical outer edge, which is sometimes referred to as its "surface.

Images of black hole show fast-moving jet leaving from edge

Four years after scientists captured the rare image of a black hole, situated at the centre of the galaxy M87, located 53 million light-years from Earth, artificial intelligence has given a major touch-up to the cosmic photograph.

A mysterious blob named X7 that has been drifting towards the centre of Milky Way's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* could be the debris of two colliding stars, a recent study has found.

Scientists solve the mystery of 'odd-looking' blob being sucked into our galaxy's black hole

Our universe is expanding. The billions of light-years-sized expanse has for a (big) while found a way to take a good stretch. And it continues to amaze us. For centuries we've had our eyes and lenses pointed at the sky to unravel its secrets but the more we know, more we realise how little we know.

Explained: A new theory says Black holes are causing universe to expand

The nearest black hole to Earth has been found by astronomers, and it is just 1,600 light-years away. Scientists revealed on Friday that this black hole is 10 times as large as the Sun and compared to the previous record-holder, it is three times closer.

Astronomers discover black hole, 10 times larger than the Sun, closest to Earth

Black holes are wonders of the Universe. They are the only celestial entities which even light cannot escape from. Though we know a great deal about black holes, something comes along to surprise us and drive home the point that there's always more to know.

This 'cosmic burp' is making scientists scratch their heads
