At the core of the galaxy, about 26,000 light-years away in space, is Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole about 4 million times more massive than the sun. The idea is that Sgr A* scarfed down ...

The black hole, spotted 5 billion light-years away in the Cosmic Horseshoe, could be the most massive ever found.

The Sculptor galaxy is a treasure trove of information that astronomers around the world cannot wait to pick apart.

Our Milky Way galaxy is at its best for the next couple of weeks, but most of you will need to make a special effort to see it. It will probably require a drive of an hour or more to reach a dark ...

A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighbouring galaxies, a new survey has found.
