Milky Way, black hole

Astrophysicists surprised by light show around the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole
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.
The Milky Way's Enormous Black Hole
Sagittarius A* has been seen by human eyes with an "image produced by a global research team called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration" according to the European Southern Observatory. The black hole lies 27,
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
The Milky Way’s Black Hole Is Producing a Brilliant Light Show
NASA's flagship space telescope captured flares from the disk of superheated material around the black hole, revealing the dynamic—and explosive—physics at our galaxy's core.
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 finds Milky Way black hole never stops strobing light
With the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have obtained a detailed study of the activity from the Milky Way's central black hole.
NASA's James Webb Telescope captures Milky Way blackhole emitting fireworks-like display
Scientists are not completely sure of the origin of the flares from the blackhole Sagittarius A*, which lies at the core of the Milky Way. They say they think it came from an accretion disk located just beyond the black hole's event horizon,
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.
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.
Webb telescope unveils cosmic fireworks around Milky Way black hole
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.
NASA photos of super-massive black hole at center of Milky Way amaze scientists
New observations using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal a "unique" ongoing, rapid-fire light show at the center of our galaxy.
