During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Scientists mapped 650 light-years of the Milky Way’s core to examine star formation in one of the galaxy’s most extreme environments.

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

"We are not just replacing the black hole with a dark object; we are proposing that the supermassive central object and the galaxy's dark matter halo are two manifestations of the same, continuous ...
