Our galaxy's supermassive black hole actually doesn't devour everything
Cosmic dust and water is withstanding radiation near the Milky Way galaxy's black hole, Saggitarius A*. The post Our galaxy’s supermassive black hole actually doesn’t devour everything appeared first on Popular Science.
Astronomers have simulated our Milky Way galaxy and estimated that it contains about 170 million stellar-mass black holes. The study also predicts the distribution of black holes, their sizes, and even the nature of the explosions that formed them, providing guidance for future observations that will test the simulations, ScienceAlert reports.
In the immediate vicinity of the black hole in the center of our galaxy, astrophysicists have come across water. It should not really exist. A Cologne researcher has a theory of what is going on there.
Location of Star IRS 3 close to Milky Way galaxy's central black hole
Location of Star IRS 3 close to Milky Way galaxy's central black hole | Webb TelescopeThese images show the location of the highly evolved star IRS 3. It is located just 0.55 light-years from Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the Milky Way galaxy's central supermassive black hole.An international team of astronomers have discovered that dust and water can form and survive surprisingly close to this supermassive black hole. The observations reveal that th…
[Article originally published on August 13, 2025] At the edge of the Universe, certain forces defy human imagination. Where gravity becomes absolute, invisible giants model light and shape matter over millions of years. Among them, an ultramassive black hole recently discovered in the galaxy of the Cosmic Horseshoe propels astronomers to the heart of a cosmic record. Its off-standard weight intrigues as much as it fascinates, raising new questio…
