How do black holes 'leak' energy? Scientists have a new spin on the answer
Black holes may leak more energy to their surroundings than previously suspected — and the faster these voids spin, the more efficient this energy extraction seems to be.
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.
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.
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
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.
