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,
Mysterious black hole starts flashing – and scientists don’t know why
A mysterious black hole has started behaving even more strangely, scientists have said. The supermassive black hole has been sending out flashes that have increased in speed. The black hole is known as 1ES 1927+654,
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.
Astronomers Found Strange, Accelerating X-Ray Pulses Coming From a Black Hole. They Might Be a Sign of an Orbiting White Dwarf
A supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy is once again surprising scientists. In 2018, a black hole called 1ES 1927+654, located about 270 million light-years away from Earth, showed its first signs of mysterious behavior.
