The James Webb Space Telescope has peered 13 billion years in the past and tens of billions of light-years away from our planet. In a recent experiment, scientists decided to look deep into a black hole that's way closer to home — and when they did,

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.

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Although black holes are invisible, astronomers say flares were seen coming from a swirling disc of hot gas and dust just beyond the black hole’s horizon.

The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, while not as "voracious" as others known on the outskirts of the universe, is surrounded by spectacular "fireworks," new data from the Webb Space Telescope reveals.

New observations using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal a "unique" ongoing, rapid-fire light show at the center of our galaxy.
