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.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
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.
Flickers and flares: Milky Way’s central black hole constantly bubbles with light
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,
