One thing thought to distinguish human culture is our ability to do things too complex to work out alone — no one could have split the atom or travel into space without […]

Astronomers have found the most massive stellar black hole in our galaxy, thanks to the wobbling motion it induces on a companion star. This wobbling was measured over several years with the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission. Additional data from other telescopes, including ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, confirmed that the mass of this […]
