JWST Reveals the Violent Heart of the Milky Way: Sgr A* Black Hole in Detail

Описание: Explore the latest images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) showing the dynamic activity around Sagittarius A* (Sgr A), the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Discover how scientists are using infrared light to observe the hot gas and magnetic fields near the event horizon, revealing rapid changes and powerful flares. Learn about the processes of synchrotron radiation, turbulence, and magnetic reconnection that drive the extreme environment around Sgr A. This video breaks down the science, the observations, and what it all means for our understanding of black holes and galactic centers.
