Milky Way, Supermassive Black Hole

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,
There could be a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud hurling stars at the Milky Way
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed. HVSs travel much faster than normal stars, and sometimes, they can exceed the galactic escape velocity.
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.
Supermassive black hole, 6,00,000 times the mass of Sun, is heading towards the Milky Way. When is the collision likely to happen?
Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of the Sun. The Large Magellanic Cloud may collide with the Milky Way in 2.4 billion years.
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).
