Milky Way’s Black Hole Is Producing a Brilliant Light Show

Webb telescope spies the Milky Way’s black hole constantly ‘bubbling’ with light
The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.
Our galaxy's monster black hole is spitting out mysterious flares, James Webb telescope reveals
Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's supermassive black hole, is constantly producing strange eruptions. Astronomers are using the James Webb Space Telescope to find out why.
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.
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.
A Supermassive Black Hole Is on a Collision Course With The Milky Way
Once the two galaxies are merged, the supermassive hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud – if black hole there is – will make its way to the galactic center, where it will eventually, after many more eons, merge with Sgr A* to make an even bigger black hole.
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.
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.
James Webb Space Telescope finds our Milky Way galaxy's supermassive black hole blowing bubbles (image, video)
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have taken a detailed look at the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sgr A*, finding it endlessly blowing bubbles.
US: Galactic Fireworks as Milky Way’s Black Hole Unleashes Constant Light Show
Farhad Yusef-Zadeh/Northwestern University The supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is putting on a relentless display of flickers and flares, according to new observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
Milky Way’s central black hole is generating massive bursts of energy
At the center of the Milky Way, a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* is never at rest. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have captured the most detailed and longest observation yet of this turbulent cosmic entity.
Black hole at center of Milky Way’s puts on daily ‘fireworks show’
New observations using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal a "unique" ongoing, rapid-fire light show. The post Black hole at center of Milky Way’s puts on daily ‘fireworks show’ appeared first on Talker.
