James Webb Telescope Reveals a Dazzling Light Show From the Milky Way’s Black Hole
Unpredictable bursts of light are pulsing from the debris surrounding Sagittarius A*, offering new insights into the mysterious behavior of the most massive object in our galaxy
Astronomers Spot ‘Fireworks’ Display Near Milky Way’s Black Hole
Astronomers have spotted displays of flashing lights and “fireworks” near a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, a finding researchers said could reveal details about how black holes—among the most mysterious objects in space—behave and interact with their environment.
Why are 'fireworks' coming from a black hole? This is what scientists say
A team of astrophysicists have found flares of light in Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.
Flickers and flares: Milky Way's central black hole constantly bubbles with light
Astrophysicists have observed our central supermassive black hole. They found the accretion disk is constantly emitting flares without periods of rest. Shorter, faint flares and longer, bright flares appear to be generated by separate processes.
NASA’s Webb Telescope Reveals a Never-Ending Cosmic Firestorm at the Center of the Milky Way
Observations revealed ongoing fireworks featuring short bursts and longer flares. Imagine solar flares, but magnified to an unimaginable scale — a continuous sparkle bright enough to shine across 26,000 light-years of space.
Webb Telescope Catches Unpredictable Black Hole Fireworks!
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the most detailed view of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center. It revealed constant, unpredictable flares, with smaller bursts caused by turbulence and larger ones from magnetic collisions.
