Astronomers recorded a Chandra X-ray Observatory largest emission from supermassive black holes in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. X-ray emission was 400 times brighter than usual. Photo from open sources Photo: GLOBAL LOOK press / World History Archive The black hole in the center of our galaxy is called Sagittarius A (Sgr A), and, according to rough estimates, its mass is 4.5 a million times the mass of our sun. Scientists have recorded record release of substance from Sgr A at the time of observation the interaction of a black hole and a gas cloud, known as G2 name. The x-ray burst (flash) was 400 times brighter, than usual, and most likely could not be associated with G2. Astrophysicists put forward two reasons for the occurrence of such a powerful outbreak. According to the first one, an electromagnetic flash occurred as a result of destruction of a massive asteroid that has fallen into the zone of gravitational exposure to a black hole. Its debris warmed to ultrahigh temperatures, served as a source of strong x-ray radiation, until they disappeared beyond the “event horizon” – the boundary of this area in space. According to the second theory, the flash gave the lines of magnetic fields of a giant gas cloud G2 approaching a black hole at a distance of about 22 billion kilometers. Similar phenomena astronomers have to observe quite often on the sun. reports the NASA website.
