Scientists are not completely sure of the origin of the flares from the blackhole Sagittarius A*, which lies at the core of the Milky Way. They say they think it came from an accretion disk located just beyond the black hole's event horizon,

With the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have obtained a detailed study of the activity from the Milky Way's central black hole.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is providing the best look yet at the chaotic events unfolding around the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, observing a steady flickering of light punctuated by occasional bright flares as material is drawn inward by its enormous gravitational pull.

(CNN) - Astronomers say they have spotted a dazzling light show from the Milky Way’s black hole. The astronomers spotted the activity using the James Webb Space Telescope. Researchers say they saw a rapid-fire display that included short flashes and longer blindingly bright flares of light on a daily basis.

Although black holes are invisible, astronomers say flares were seen coming from a swirling disc of hot gas and dust just beyond the black hole’s horizon.

The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, while not as "voracious" as others known on the outskirts of the universe, is surrounded by spectacular "fireworks," new data from the Webb Space Telescope reveals.
