Milky Way, supermassive black hole

James Webb Space Telescope discovers mysterious flares near the Milky Way's monster black hole
Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's supermassive black hole, is constantly producing strange eruptions. Astronomers are using the James Webb Space Telescope to find out why.
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,
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.
Black hole 'disco': Webb telescope captures remarkable footage
NASA is sharing new images that show, as they put it, that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way seems to be having a party.
