Using (JWST), scientists discovered that the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is constantly streaming out flare
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.
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.

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.
NASA astronaut Don Pettit used a camera with low light and long duration settings to capture this Jan. 29, 2025, image of the Milky Way appearing beyond Earth's horizon.
A star racing through the Milky Way may have a planet in tow, setting a new speed record for exoplanet systems. Using microlensing, astronomers spotted the pair moving at over 1.2 million mph. Scientists are working to confirm whether it’s a true star-planet system or a rogue planet with a moon.
