Black Hole, Milky Way

A Supermassive Black Hole Is on a Collision Course With The Milky Way
A Milky Way collision with a supermassive black hole might be closer than we thought. Hidden deep in the Large Magellanic Cloud dwarf galaxy that orbits the Milky Way on an ever-closing loop, signs of a massive invisible object clocking in at around 600,
Supermassive Black Hole Heading Towards The Milky Way Galaxy
The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a collision with the Milky Way is inevitable.
Scientists discover largest black hole jet ever seen in the early universe — its twice as long as our galaxy
"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars."
ATLANTIC SKIES: How did our galaxy's black hole get so big?
Located approximately 27,000 light-years (one light year equals approximately nine trillion kilometres) from Earth — relatively close when it comes to galactic black holes — Sag A* has an estimated mass of about four million solar masses (one solar mass equals the mass of our sun).
Researchers find largest black hole jet from early universe
Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was 1.2 billion years old, stretching at least twice the length of the Milky Way galaxy.
Tiny dwarf galaxy might house a supermassive black hole
Fast-moving stars zooming through our galaxy might have been slingshotted from a black hole inside the neighbouring Large Magellanic Cloud
The Largest 'Black Hole Jet' Discovered Is Estimated to Be Twice the Size of Our Milky Way
The Largest 'Black Hole Jet' Discovered Is Estimated to Be Twice the Size of Our Milky Way We know black holes to be mysterious regions in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that even light can't escape.
