Black hole at the center of the Milky Way flares in long term - Tech Explorist

Our Milky Way galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole- named Sagittarius A*- at its center.

After analyzing 15 years’ worth of data, an international team of scientists found that the black hole not only flares irregularly from day to day but also in the long term.

Scientists are looking forward to obtaining enough data to rule out whether the variations in the flares from Sagittarius A* are due to passing gaseous clouds or stars or whether something else can explain the irregular activity observed from our galaxy’s central black hole.

It was previously thought that more flares follow after gaseous clouds or stars pass by the black hole, but there is no evidence for that yet
