The existence of black holes is one of the most amazing and bizarre predictions of Einstein's theory of gravity. Despite his original misgivings about their reality, massive black hole holes are today believed to lie at the centers of most galaxies and to be the inevitable consequence of the demise of massive stars. http://www.physorg.com/news169819669.html Space & Earth Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:08:36 EST news169819669 Astronomers have at last uncovered newborn stars at the frenzied center of our Milky Way galaxy. The discovery was made using the infrared vision of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. http://www.physorg.com/news163863704.html Space & Earth Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:41:58 EST news163863704 An extremely deep Chandra X-ray Observatory image of a region near the center of our Galaxy has resolved a long-standing mystery about an X-ray glow along the plane of the Galaxy. The glow in the region covered by the Chandra image was discovered to be caused by hundreds of point-like X-ray sources, implying that the glow along the plane of the Galaxy is due to millions of such sources. http://www.physorg.com/news160231864.html Space & Earth Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:51:39 EST news160231864 (PhysOrg.com) -- The center of the Milky Way presents astronomers with a paradox: it holds young stars, but no one is sure how those stars got there. The galactic center is wracked with powerful gravitational tides stirred by a 4 million solar-mass black hole. Those tides should rip apart molecular clouds that act as stellar nurseries, preventing stars from forming in place. Yet the alternative - stars falling inward after forming elsewhere - should be a rare occurrence. http://www.physorg.com/news150383551.html Space & Earth Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:12:31 EST news150383551 (PhysOrg.com) -- Astronomers have taken the closest look ever at the giant black hole in the center of the Milky Way. By combining telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona, and California, they detected structure at a tiny angular scale of 37 micro-arcseconds - the equivalent of a baseball seen on the surface of the moon, 240,000 miles distant. These observations are among the highest resolution ever done in astronomy. http://www.physorg.com/news139665448.html Space & Earth Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:57:28 EST news139665448
