A team of astrophysicists have found flares of light in Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

Supermassive black hole binary emits unexpected flares Their orbit periodically takes them through a cloud of gas, triggering flares.

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.

“ENTs are different beasts,” study lead author and astronomer Jason Hinkle explained in an accompanying statement. “Not only are ENTs far brighter than normal tidal disruption events, but they remain ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

ENTs occur when stars that are at least three times as massive as the Sun pass so close to a supermassive black hole that its colossal gravity shreds them to pieces. The resulting string of matter ...

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new ...

These explosions, called extreme nuclear transients, shine for longer than typical supernovas and get 30 to 1,000 times as bright.

Long theorized but never observed, the first known “planet with a death wish” is described by Ilin and her colleagues in a ...
