At the edge of the Milky Way, there are a surprising number of hyper-fast stars that originate from outside. They apparently betray a supermassive black hole.

Astronomers have spotted displays of flashing lights and “fireworks” near a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, a finding researchers said could reveal details about how black holes—among the most mysterious objects in space—behave and interact with their environment.

(CNN) - Astronomers say they have spotted a dazzling light show from the Milky Way’s black hole. The astronomers spotted the activity using the James Webb Space Telescope. Researchers say they saw a rapid-fire display that included short flashes and longer blindingly bright flares of light on a daily basis.
