- Astronomers have detected the biggest and brightest flare ever observed from the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, called Sagittarius A*.
- The flare was 75 times brighter than the black hole's normal brightness and released the energy equivalent of about 10 trillion suns.
- This extreme outburst provides new insights into the feeding habits and behavior of supermassive black holes, which are found at the centers of most galaxies.
