An international team of astrophysicists has discovered hundreds of mysterious structures in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. These one-dimensional cosmic threads are hundreds of horizontal or ...

Hundreds of filaments of gas, each 5–10 light-years in length, line the galactic center and radiate outward along the plane of the galaxy like spokes on a bicycle wheel with our galaxy's black ...

Researchers have zoomed in on the area surrounding the supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our galaxy, and made a fascinating discovery: a structure of "strange filaments" driving a ...

Astronomers have detected a new set of whiskers on the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy: filaments of radio energy a few light-years long, and streaming outward along the galactic ...

An international team has discovered a gigantic filament of hot gas connecting two pairs of galaxy clusters over a distance of 23 million light-years. For the first time, spectroscopic ...

The horizontal filaments are only on one side of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Sag A* (for short) lies about 26,000 light-years away and is about 4 ...

This deep galaxy field from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) shows an arrangement of 10 distant galaxies marked by eight white circles in a diagonal, thread-like line.

Strange things are afoot in the mysterious heart of the Milky Way. It’s a bustling, star-packed region that also harbors our galaxy’s supermassive black hole, which scientists call Sagittarius ...

The centre of our galaxy is full of hundreds of strange threads of hot gas, which may have formed due to an outburst from Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way’s resident supermassive black hole.

Between galaxy systems, there are giant voids with almost no visible matter (galaxies and gas). Galaxy groups and clusters can, in turn, form even larger systems called superclusters.
