The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way appears to be having a party—and it is weird, wild and wonderful.

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have taken a detailed look at the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way, called Sagittarius A*. They found that the swirling disk of gas and dust around it constantly emits flares.

Astrophysicists used the JWST to observe central supermassive black hole for 48 hours total across one year. They found the accretion disk is constantly emitting flares without periods of rest. Shorter,

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.

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.
