Astrophysicists have discovered that the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, at the center of the Milky Way emits gamma-ray flares every 76 minutes, suggesting orbital motion of an unidentified object. These gamma-ray flares share a periodicity with the black hole's radio and X-ray emissions, hinting at a common cause. The researchers propose that a blob of hot gas, held together by a magnetic field and orbiting Sgr A*, is responsible for the emissions, emitting radiation as it cools.
