An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal Letters" reports evidence of a cosmic wind emanating from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Mark D. Gorski and Lena Murchikova of Northwestern University used observations with the ALMA radio telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to create a high-quality map of the cold carbon monoxide gas surrounding Sagittarius A*.

Schwarze Löcher verschlucken alles, sogar Licht. Was hinter ihrer unsichtbaren Grenze verschwindet, kommt nicht wieder heraus — zumindest nicht nach den Regeln der klassischen Physik. Doch wie erforscht man etwas, das man nicht direkt sehen kann? Und was passiert in einem Schwarzen Loch?

James Webb Looked Into Sagittarius A… What it Saw Terrified Scientists

At the center of our galaxy, 26,000 light-years away, lies a monster: Sagittarius A*. The James Webb Space Telescope has just peered through the cosmic dust to reveal high-energy flares and "flickering" patterns that defy current physics.
