Milky Way, James Webb Space Telescope and flares

James Webb telescope captures 1st 'mid-infrared' flare from Milky Way's supermassive black hole
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a mid-infrared picture of Sagittarius A*, filling in a long-standing gap in observations..
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.
Gaia Detected an Entire Swarm of Black Holes Moving Through The Milky Way
In any globular cluster, all its stars formed at the same time, from the same cloud of gas. The Milky Way has more than 150 known globular clusters; these objects are excellent tools for studying, for example, the history of the Universe, or the dark matter content of the galaxies they orbit.
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 capture unprecedented view of supermassive black hole in action
Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, or AGN,
Feeding supermassive black holes may have ended the cosmic 'dark ages' billions of years ago
NASA's Chandra and NuSTAR telescopes have teamed up to study a supermassive black hole-powered quasar that could have played a key role in ending the cosmic dark ages.
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.
Strange Flashes Could Be Signs of Closest Object Seen Near a Black Hole
Black holes themselves emit no light, but the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies are often surrounded by huge clouds of material. It's this material, heated by friction and gravity as it swirls in orbit around the black hole, that blazes with light.
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.
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?
More supermassive black holes lurking in universe than previously thought
A new study suggests more supermassive black holes may be lurking in the universe than previously thought. Astronomers from the University of Southampton have discovered that 35 per cent of these enormous entities—some of which are billions of times heavier than the sun—remain undetected.
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 ...
Intrepid white dwarf has a close encounter with a massive black hole
Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually ...
