For years, the center of our galaxy has been painted as a place where stars go to meet their end — a region ruled by ...

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ...

James Webb Space Telescope observes mid-infrared flare from Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, revealing flare evolution, synchrotron cooling, and magnetic field measurements.

Chandra X-ray Observatory and X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) imagery of the Milky Way's core and supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* has been sonified by SYSTEM Sounds. Credit: ...

The JWST's MIRI detected a flare in Sagittarius A*, revealing for the first time in mid-infrared how an explosion occurs near a black hole.

A new James Webb Space Telescope study finds that Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central black hole, constantly emits light from its swirling accretion disk. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / Ralf Crawford ...

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 ...

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. Reading time 2 minutes ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a product of over two decades of collaboration between NASA, CSA, and ESA, has made a remarkable discovery. From its home in a stable orbit in Lagrange point 2, ...
