The level of activity occurs over a wide range of time — from short interludes to long stretches. While some flares are faint flickers, lasting mere seconds, other flares are blindingly bright eruptions, which spew daily. There also are even fainter changes that surge over months.</p> <p>The new findings could help physicists better understand the fundamental nature of black holes, how they get fed from their surrounding environments, and the dynamics and evolution of our own galaxy.</p> <div id="" class="hds-media hds-module wp-block-image"><div class="margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-wide"><div class="hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto"><figure class="hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit "><a href="https://assets.science.nasa.gov/dynamicimage/assets/science/missions/webb/science/2025/webb-STScI-01JKREFYNJE7MT5SG2H0FBYG75-2K.png?w=1920&h=1080&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint"><img width="1920" height="1080" src="https://assets.science.nasa.gov/dynamicimage/assets/science/missions/webb/science/2025/webb-STScI-01JKREFYNJE7MT5SG2H0FBYG75-2K.png?w=1920&h=1080&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint" class="attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048" alt="A large, black circle representing a black hole occupies the right third of the frame in this illustration.

It’s surrounded by a swirling accretion disk of hot gas. The black hole’s gravity bends light from the far side of the disk, making it appear to wrap above and below the black hole. Several flaring hot spots that resemble solar flares, but on a more energetic scale, are seen in the disk. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected both bright flares and fainter flickers coming from Sagittarius A*. The flickers are so rapid they must originate very close to the black hole.</div><div class="hds-credits">Illustration: NASA, ESA, CSA, Ralf Crawford (STScI)</div></figcaption></div></div></div> <div
