Webb telescope spies the Milky Way's black hole

Milky Way’s black hole unleashes mysterious flares
Scientists observed constant flares from the Milky Way's black hole, revealing unpredictable and intense activity.
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.
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.
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.
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. HVSs travel much faster than normal stars, and sometimes, they can exceed the galactic escape velocity.

A team of astrophysicists has gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the “void” that lurks in the middle of our galaxy.
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).
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.
