Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

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.

Scientists observed constant flares from the Milky Way's black hole, revealing unpredictable and intense activity.

Between spotting galaxies that shouldn't exist, capturing the interstellar medium with unprecedented clarity, and identifying new worlds, the James Webb Space Telescope is a busy observatory. But as it orbits the Sun,

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.
