(CNN) - Astronomers say they have spotted a dazzling light show from the Milky Way’s black hole. The astronomers spotted the activity using the James Webb Space Telescope. Researchers say they saw a rapid-fire display that included short flashes and longer blindingly bright flares of light on a daily basis.

Astronomers have spotted displays of flashing lights and “fireworks” near a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, a finding researchers said could reveal details about how black holes—among the most mysterious objects in space—behave and interact with their environment.

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Although black holes are invisible, astronomers say flares were seen coming from a swirling disc of hot gas and dust just beyond the black hole’s horizon.

NASA's flagship space telescope captured flares from the disk of superheated material around the black hole, revealing the dynamic—and explosive—physics at our galaxy's core.

The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, while not as "voracious" as others known on the outskirts of the universe, is surrounded by spectacular "fireworks," new data from the Webb Space Telescope reveals.
