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

Flickers and flares: JWST reveals Milky Way's central black hole constantly bubbles with light
The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way appears to be having a party—and it is weird, wild and wonderful.
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.
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 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 observes violence around Milky Way's central black hole
While the events observed around Sgr A* are dramatic, this black hole is not as active as some at the center of other galaxies.
‘600,000-solar-mass’: Hidden black hole discovered and it is coming for our Milky Way galaxy
A hidden 600,000-solar-mass black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud is on course to collide with the Milky Way in 2 billion years, reshaping our galaxy’s future.
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.
Webb reveals rapid-fire light show from Milky Way's central black hole
The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way appears to be having a party, complete with a disco ball-style light show. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astrophysicists has gained the longest,
Supermassive Black Hole Heading Towards The Milky Way Galaxy
The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a collision with the Milky Way is inevitable.
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.
Sagittarius A* black hole in Milky Way galaxy centre emits bright flares that last seconds to months
A black hole might conjure images of a dark, quiet void, but never-seen-before images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope reveals the centre of the Milky Way looks more like fireworks.
There could be a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud hurling stars at the Milky Way
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.
