Milky Way, supermassive black hole

Milky Way’s Black Hole Just Lit Up in a Way We’ve Never Seen Before
Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on the complex physics driving these energetic outbursts.
First Infrared Flare-Up Detected From The Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole
Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly quiet. It’s not creating any galaxy-wide tantrums that should worry us. It does flare up though,
First-ever detection of a mid-infrared flare in Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's supermassive massive black hole
Using the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of scientists made the first-ever detection of a mid-IR flare from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive massive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way.
Mysterious flashing seen near supermassive black hole. Astronomers have an idea what it is
A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?
Astronomers see flares coming from the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole
There’s plenty of action at the center of the galaxy, where a supermassive black hole (SMBH) known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) literally holds the galaxy together. Part of that action is the creation of gigantic flares from Sgr A*,
NASA Astronomers Zero In on the Number of Hidden Supermassive Black Holes
Researchers found far more hidden black holes than previously known, indicating plenty of behemoths lurking in thick clouds of gas and dust.
Many supermassive black holes can't be seen with current technology
NASA telescopes reveal 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden by dust, reshaping theories about their role in galaxy growth.
About a third of supermassive black holes are hiding
Supermassive black holes can have trillions of times more mass than the Sun, only exist in specific locations, and could number in the trillions. How can objects like that be hiding? They’re shielded from our view by thick columns of gas and dust.
Feeding supermassive black holes are more common than thought across the universe
Feeding supermassive black holes are more common in the cosmos than previously suspected. What could possibly hide such ravenous cosmic titans?
Mysterious x-ray flashes are accelerating in a black hole
Astronomers detected X-ray flashes from the black hole that increased in frequency from one every 18 minutes to one every seven minutes.
Astronomers Say the ‘Little Red Dots’ Discovered by the JWST Could Be Glowing Due to Supermassive Black Holes
LRDs, or Little Red Dots, were discovered in the first months after the James Webb Space telescope was turned on. However, since then they have perplexed scientists about what they are and what is causing the light.
