Our Galaxy’s Black Hole Just Rewrote History

Researchers just uncovered a cataclysmic energy flare from Sagittarius A* that carved giant ionization cones through the Milky Way — a discovery that could rewrite our galaxy’s evolution. In this video: the Safford flare that slammed into the Magellanic Stream, the record-breaking stellar black hole LB1 (70× Sun), the hypervelocity star S5-HVS1 ejected by our central black hole, the Planet Nine vs. primordial black hole hypothesis, and the first triple supermassive black hole system in NGC 6240. We break down Hubble, VLT, Gaia and GTC observations and what these findings mean for black hole formation, galaxy evolution, and gravitational-wave astronomy.
