A ghost of an ancient flare has been found at the Milky Way's center. Our supermassive black hole 'sneezed' a powerful jet millions of years ago, and the echo of that event still lights up in gamma rays. Now models of the mysterious galactic glow will become more accurate, and the mystery of dark matter — a bit closer to being solved.
🎯 Sagittarius A* packs 4 million Suns into a region smaller than Mercury's orbit. Its spin is so rapid that the edge of the black hole moves at nearly the speed of light.
🎬 In Isaac Asimov's 'Foundation,' the capital of the Galaxy lies at its very heart — the turbulent and mysterious center of the Milky Way.
