New research from the Hubble Space Telescope suggests that our galaxys central black hole Sagittarius A* belches out jets of material as it swallows surrounding gas clouds.

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy periodically hiccups after consuming nearby stars and gas clouds, burping a "mini-jet" out into space that is linked to expanding bubbles observed in the Galactic halo.

Black holes are found in the centers of most galaxies, where they can influence star formation and the distribution of atoms in the environment surrounding them. However, direct observation of a black hole is difficult because it is so small relative to their masses. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) captured the first image ever taken of a black hole: specifically, the ring of light produced by matter just as it falls into the black hole at the center of the nearby galaxy M87. The EHT is a virt...
