The lone black hole without a companion star is located 5,000 light-years away. A team of scientists have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole that has no star orbiting it in the Milky Way ...

One such tale is that of SGR 0501+4516 — a dead star racing across the Milky Way. Astronomers have tracked this bizarre “zombie star” moving at more than 110,000 mph, far faster than they ...

The incredibly compact object, which is one of only 30 known magnetars in the Milky Way, was first discovered in 2008, when it was around 15,000 light-years from Earth.

This object, initially discovered in 2008 by NASA’s Swift observatory, is one of the 30 known magnetars in the Milky Way, but its behavior challenges conventional theories about their formation. Worse ...

Scientists have been left baffled after spotting a lone black hole drifting through the Milky Way, without any orbiting stars. Although this black hole is seven times more massive than our sun ...

The image is now available in wallpaper sizes on the ESA Hubble website ... one Sun’s worth of stars each year. Compared to the Milky Way, it is slightly larger but harder to study.
