A team of astrophysicists has gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the “void” that lurks in the middle of our galaxy. The post Scientists say Milky Way’s black hole having ‘cosmic party’ appeared first on Talker.

Scientists observed constant flares from the Milky Way's black hole, revealing unpredictable and intense activity.

( Nanowerk News) The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way appears to be having a party, complete with a disco ball-style light show. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astrophysicists has gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the “void” that lurks in the middle 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.

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.
