Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered frequent daily flare activity in the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. The black hole emits bursts of varying intensity from its accretion disk, with some lasting seconds and others being intensely bright. These findings could improve our understanding of black hole behavior and their interactions with their surroundings. Researchers plan to continue using the James Webb telescope to observe the black hole for a full 24 hours to determine if the flares follow a pattern or occur randomly.
