For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), ...

A new theoretical proposal argues that the massive object sitting at the center of our galaxy may not be a black hole at all, but rather a dense clump of fermionic dark matter with no event horizon.

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to ...

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.

There is a lot we have yet to understand about the center of the Milky Way—could it be due to a mass of invisible dark matter?

Previous observations of stars whipping around an unseen mass—especially a bright star called S2—have pointed to an object ...

At the center of our galaxy, something incredibly heavy is pulling the strings. Stars ...

The Milky Way is over 13 billion years old, and in that time, it has apparently had more than one galactic core. At least, that's what a new study suggests. The study in question was published in The ...

The Milky Way lights up the sky over Cathedral Rock in the Coconino National Forest in Sedona, Arizona. Deborah Lee Soltesz, U.S. Forest Service Coconino National Forest The starry night sky can look ...

You have our attention. The post The Object at the Core of the Milky Way Might Not Be a Black Hole at All, Scientists Say appeared first on Futurism.

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.
