Wind from Milky Way's supermassive black hole is finally discovered
Wind from Milky Way's supermassive black hole is finally discovered WASHINGTON, June 5 : After five decades of trying, astronomers have finally discovered the wind emanating from the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, though it turns out it is more of a gentle breeze than a hurricane. Using data from the Chile-based ALMA telescope and NASA's orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, the researchers viewed the cosmic neighborhood around the black hole - called...
Milky Way black hole's missing wind finally found after a half-century-long search
Milky Way black hole's missing wind finally found after a half-century-long search Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor After more than 50 years of searching, astrophysicists at Northwestern University have finally discovered evidence of a powerful wind blowing from the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). According to theoretical physics and a long-accepted understanding of galaxies' evolution, as black holes consume materials, they...
Trouble near the Milky Way: The Large Magellanic Cloud is ripping its smaller neighbor galaxy apart
Trouble near the Milky Way: The Large Magellanic Cloud is ripping its smaller neighbor galaxy apart In the gravitational tug of war between the dwarf galaxy siblings, it's the Small Magellanic Cloud that's losing. The Small Magellanic Cloud seems to be coming undone at the gravitational hands of its sibling galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, which has been found to be unwrapping its little brother's stars. The Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC for short) are two dwarf irregular...
A trip to the United Arab Emirates' darkest spot reveals a rare view of the Milky Way
A trip to the United Arab Emirates' darkest spot reveals a rare view of the Milky Way Andrew Zinin Lead Editor The gleaming skyscrapers and bright lights of the United Arab Emirates draw the eyes of all who travel there, a sign of the Arabian Peninsula nation's rapid, oil-fueled development over the last decades into a major hub for commerce and tourism. But something has been lost over that period: a clear vision across nearly all of the country's inhabited lands of the stars in the night...
Scientists find wind blowing from our Milky Way's black hole after half-century search: 'There it is'
Scientists find wind blowing from our Milky Way's black hole after half-century search: 'There it is' "There is the thing that everybody’s been looking for for 50 years." After searching for 50 years, astronomers have finally discovered evidence of powerful winds blowing from Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. The discovery represents a deepening of our understanding of the physics at play both around supermassive black holes and at the heart of...

Peering into the Milky Way's far side, Roman could unveil 100,000 worlds
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is poised to make a major leap in the hunt for worlds outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. Scientists expect the mission to reveal around 100,000 worlds—a staggering leap compared to the nearly 6,300 found so far thanks to NASA missions working in tandem with other observatories. And Roman will primarily find them in underexplored regions of the Milky Way.
Could the Milky Way's missing mass be hiding in a swarm of interstellar comets?
3I/ATLAS has caused quite a stir over the last year, inviting astronomers to update what they know about other solar systems as well as our own. However, this third interstellar visitor may have an unexpected impact on our understanding of dark matter. A new paper, available on the arXiv preprint server from researchers at the University of Hamburg, attempts to calculate the impact that the presence of large amounts of interstellar objects, or ISOs, would have on our calculation of dark...
