In new images, scientists have gotten the closest look yet at Sagittarius C -- a 'stellar nursery' where clouds of gas and dust have collapsed to form thousands of new stars.

The elliptical galaxy NGC 1600, 200 million light-years away -- shown in the center of the image and highlighted in the box --, hosts in its center one of the biggest supermassive black holes known ...

Dubbed by some as a “door to hell,” the black hole exerts an extreme influence on its surroundings, warping space-time and generating powerful emissions that stretch across vast distances.

The behemoth, nicknamed J2345-0449, is a giant radio galaxy, or "super spiral" galaxy roughly three times the size of the Milky Way.Like our own spiral galaxy, it harbors a supermassive black hole ...

which themselves are stretched and amplified by turbulent motions of gas swirling around the behemoth black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*. This black hole has a mass of around ...
