Scientists know stars can form near and even orbit these black hole behemoths, but they’ve never seen a pair of stars survive so close by.

Astronomers have used the Very Large Telescope to discover the first binary stars around the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way.

AP Science Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have spotted what appear to be two stars whipping around each other near the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Nearly every large galaxy has a supermassive black…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a galaxy named Firefly Sparkle, existing just 600 million years post-Big Bang and bearing similar mass to the early Milky Way. Like fireflies “dancing” on a warm summer night, 10 distinct…

For decades, scientists have debated the source of unusual star movements in Omega Centauri, the Milky Way's largest star cluster. Recent research, incorporating new pulsar data, provides clarity, suggesting that a cluster of stellar-mass…

Astronomers have used JWST to weigh a galaxy in the early Universe, finding that it has roughly the same mass as the Milky Way should have had at the same time in the Universe's history. The galaxy was seen in a gravitational lens and…

Explore Firefly Sparkle, an ancient galaxy revealed by the JWST, offering insights into the Milky Way's early formation and cosmic evolution.

We know that interstellar objects occasionally visit our solar system. So far, we have only discovered two interstellar objects (ISOs), but that's mainly because we can only distinguish them from solar system bodies by their orbital motion…

The Firefly Sparkle galaxy is so named because it resembles a "sparkle" or swarm of lightning bugs on a warm summer night.

Researchers said the galaxy, still in the process of assembling, dates to when the universe was roughly 5% of its current age

Our best glimpse yet at early star formation.
