Milky Way, supermassive black hole

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.
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,
