Milky Way's monster black hole may be shooting superheated jets into our galaxy, ... Sgr A* is located at the heart of the Milky Way, around 27,000 light-years from the solar system.

The arrival of August means two things for stargazers — "shooting stars" and the Milky Way. In 2024, you can see both at the same time if you know exactly where and when to look.

Regular high-energy pulses of gamma-ray radiation emerging from around the Milky Way's central black hole may be coming from a blob of matter whipping around at 30% the speed of light.

The object is located 15,000 light-years away in a region of the Milky Way brimming with stars, gas and dust. Astronomers have discovered a strange new object in our Milky Way galaxy.
