The flares are common in supermassive black holes and have been seen before, says Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, a professor of physics and astronomy at Northwestern University who led the study.

A tiny fraction of known black holes emit X-ray signals that resemble a human "heartbeat." Now, new research may finally explain the strange phenomenon.

“Supermassive black holes like this one have flares all the time. They are not quiet objects, but the timing, size, and location of this flare was spectacular,” said co-author Mansi Kasliwal.

An explosive flare from the Milky Way's central black hole has been translated from 'a single flickering pixel' into a detailed 3D model using AI and Einstein's general relativity equations.

Astronomers have noticed it emitting bright flares of energy, rapidly glowing 75 times brighter than normal. At the heart of our galaxy lies a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*.
