An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. It is the first time a stellar pair has been ...

Astronomers have observed a binary star system orbiting near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The discovery of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), published Tuesday in Nature ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is associated with wanton destruction, but a recent discovery throws that assumption into question. A team of international ...

"Black holes are not as destructive as we thought. It seems plausible that the detection of planets in the galactic center is just a matter of time." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

What can binary stars comprised of two different types of stars teach astronomers about stellar evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team ...

Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...
