Milky Way, Sagittarius A and flares

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.
Astronomers spot flares of light near the black hole at the center of our galaxy
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.
Astronomers Spot ‘Fireworks’ Display Near Milky Way’s Black Hole
Astronomers have spotted displays of flashing lights and “fireworks” near a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, a finding researchers said could reveal details about how black holes—among the most mysterious objects in space—behave and interact with their environment.
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.
Milky Way’s black hole unleashes mysterious flares
Scientists observed constant flares from the Milky Way's black hole, revealing unpredictable and intense activity.
Astronomers Detect Flares From Milky Way's Black Hole
Astronomer Yusef-Zadeh explained that flares are expected in all supermassive black holes, but Sagittarius A is unique. Unlike others, it is constantly active and never settles into a steady state. Observations made throughout 2023 and 2024 revealed changes every time, with each viewing showing something new.
Black Hole at The Center of Our Galaxy Seen 'Bubbling' With Activity
The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy may not be as voracious as the gas-gobbling monsters that astronomers have seen farther out in the Universe, but new findings from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveal that its surroundings are flaring with fireworks.
