Milky Way, James Webb Space Telescope and black hole

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.
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.
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.
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.
Supermassive black hole, 6,00,000 times the mass of Sun, is heading towards the Milky Way. When is the collision likely to happen?
Astronomers have found a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This black hole is 600,000 times the mass of the Sun. The Large Magellanic Cloud may collide with the Milky Way in 2.4 billion years.
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.
