Astronomers have just made a major breakthrough in understanding the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Using artificial intelligence and millions of distributed computing simulations, they've ...

Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from experts. The monster black hole at the center of our galaxy is spinning at ...

AI has helped astronomers crack open some of the universe s best-kept secrets by analyzing massive datasets about black holes. Using over 12 million simulations powered by high-throughput computing, ...

Small and unassuming, Segue 1 is a nearby dwarf galaxy containing only a handful of stars—too few to provide the gravity needed to keep itself from scattering into space. Like other dwarf galaxies, it ...

For 50 years, astronomers have been searching for evidence of winds emanating from the black hole Sagittarius A*. Now, they finally think they have an answer. Reading time 3 minutes Every large galaxy ...

Astronomers using data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a spectacular cosmic object they’re calling the “Infinity Galaxy.” The site of an epic head-on collision between two ...

Astronomers have discovered potentially the most massive black hole ever detected. The cosmic behemoth is close to the theoretical upper limit of what is possible in the universe and is 10,000 times ...

Astronomers have detected the first tidal disruption event (TDE), designated AT2024tvd, occurring 2,600 light-years outside its host galaxy's core, exhibiting intense, rapidly evolving radio signals.

"We're now entering an era where we can automatically catch these rare events as they happen, not just after the fact." Astronomers have observed what may be the first known case of a massive star ...
