Astronomers have been able to identify the widest range of elements in a star beyond our solar system yet in a Milky Way star called HD 222925.

Researchers have shared the very first image of the black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Meet Sagittarius A*.

Scientists have debated the origin of two enormous bubbles above and below the Milky Way since 2020. A new study points at a supermassive black hole.

Astrophysicist Andrea Ghez discovered the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. Here, she explains the monster at the center of our galaxy.

An odd metallic star called LP 40-365 is hurtling out of the Milky Way galaxy at absurd speed, researchers say. It's "shrapnel" from an exploding star.

New research shows that many stars in the Milky Way galaxy may have Earth-like planets in their orbit. The finding is somewhat at odds with previous work.

New galaxy simulations could help reveal the origins of the Milky Way and provide clues in the decades-long search for dark matter, researchers say.

New models could inform researchers working to get the very first picture of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center.

The Milky Way may be catapulting stars into its outer galactic halo, researchers say. The finding could change how we think about how star systems are born.

"This is the first time we have been able to determine when such a merger happened."
