Astronomers observe flares of light in the accretion disk around Sagittarius A* black hole

Astronomers have observed flares of light in the accretion disk orbiting the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, which is unique due to its shorter durations and varying brightness. This phenomenon provides valuable insights into the magnetic activity of black holes and can help test scientific theories, including Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Black Holes and Webb Space Telescope Discoveries

Astrophysicists at Northwestern University conducted a simulation showing black holes 'taking bites' out of stars and spitting out remains. The Webb Space Telescope discovered the earliest known merger of black holes, just 740 million years after the Big Bang.
