Suddenly, the brightness of the black hole increased by 75 times. According to him, such a phenomenon has not been recorded so close to our planet for more than 20 years.
The scientist noticed how on May 12 of this year a bright spot was noticed in the center of the Galaxy. At first there was an assumption that the S2 star, located next to the black hole, shines like this. However, after it turned out that the black hole itself emits bright light. Visually, it looks like clouds of dust and gas circulating near a mysterious celestial object.
The astrophysicist found the cause of the unnatural glow of a space object: last year, the S2 star rotated at a closer distance. This violated the gas disk around the star, because of which it began to heat up and glow. It is possible that part of the star’s gas cloud approached the black hole. Probably, as a result of these processes, large volumes of stellar gas began to flow to the surface of the black hole. They increase the luminosity of the space monster.
American astrophysicists began to conduct serious scientific research in order to obtain as much information as possible about the nature of this extraordinary phenomenon. Already in the coming weeks, the world scientific community will be able to find out what processes occur on the surface and inside the star S2.
The unnatural activity of the star Strelets-S2 was also detected at the Russian-German Observatory Spectrum RG.It was launched in July this year. The data obtained by scientists working in the Russian state corporation Roscosmos suggests that a black hole emits very powerful flashes of bright light. He does not affect the inhabitants of the Earth in any way.
Observations of a formidable space object continue. Other powerful spacecraft are being directed to the center of the Milky Way - Chandra, NuSTAR, Integral. In the near future, they will begin to work, making high-quality images of the region of interest to the universe. It is possible that the results of such studies will help to better understand the nature of black holes and understand how supermassive objects appeared in space.
