Webb Catches Mysterious Light Flares Around Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole
Between spotting galaxies that shouldn't exist, capturing the interstellar medium with unprecedented clarity, and identifying new worlds, the James Webb Space Telescope is a busy observatory. But as it orbits the Sun,
Webb telescope observes violence around Milky Way's central black hole
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is providing the best look yet at the chaotic events unfolding around the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, observing a steady flickering of light punctuated by occasional bright flares as material is drawn inward by its enormous gravitational pull.
Watch: Webb Telescope captures constant ‘bubbling brightness’ at the heart of our galaxy
Explore the astonishing findings from the Webb Telescope on the restless black hole Sagittarius A* at the Milky Way's center.
Astronomers Detect Flares From Milky Way's Black Hole
Astronomer Yusef-Zadeh explained that flares are expected in all supermassive black holes, but Sagittarius A is unique. Unlike others, it is constantly active and never settles into a steady state. Observations made throughout 2023 and 2024 revealed changes every time, with each viewing showing something new.
