Deep Astronomy - Discoveries of Webb Space Telescope Ep 3: The Flares of Sagittarius A*, Our Galaxy's Black Hole

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7FAg_AYXaw From April 14, 2025. Astronomers using the JWST have made direct observations of the black hole at the center of our galaxy: Sagittarius A*.  These observations are possible because the Webb Space Telescope can peer through the dust at the center of our galaxy using infrared light.  These observations surprised astronomers.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
