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.

Astrophysicists have observed our central supermassive black hole. They found the accretion disk is constantly emitting flares without periods of rest. Shorter, faint flares and longer, bright flares ...

Lobster-eye satellite Einstein Probe captured the X-ray flash from a very elusive celestial pair. The discovery opens a new way to explore how massive stars interact and evolve, confirming the unique ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists discovered that the Milky Way 's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is constantly streaming out flares without respite.

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.

In this astrophotography guide, Josh Dury explains how he captures stellar images of the Milky Way, Full Moon and more The ...
