This image shows the globular cluster ESO 520-21, a dense sphere of stars near the Milky Way’s centre. It was captured by Hubble and appears dimmer due to gas and dust blocking the starlight.

Though there is a rich cloud of raw star-making material in Sagittarius C, star formation rates are not ... the researchers confirmed the tentative finding from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array ...

In 2022, Sahu and his colleagues discovered the dark object coursing through the constellation Sagittarius. A second team disputed the claim, saying the body might instead be a neutron star.

Regardless, Sagittarius C's own time may be drawing to a close. The region's stars have blown away much of its molecular cloud already, and that nursery could disappear entirely in a few hundred ...

although astronomers believe that it did have large-scale radio jets in the past. This could change, the researchers explain, if Sagittarius A* were to pull in and tear apart a gas cloud, star or ...
