At https://phys.org/news/2024-10-gamma-rays-milky-core.html … an international research team including people from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, observed hig energy gamma rays at more than 100 teraelectron volts, and tracked their origin to the galactic centre of the Milky Way. It was just a glimpse of activity at the heart of our galaxy but enought to measure ultra high energy gamma rays were being emitted. In other words, our galaxy performs similar activity as seen in space telescopes from far away galaxies. The riddle of high energy gamma rays.

The research took place over 7 years and they managed to spot over a hundred gamma ray bursts. The heart of our galaxy is of course where a supermassive black hole is supposedly lurking. What is the connection? Unfortunately, the centre of the Milky Way, as in other galaxies, is also shrouded by dense clouds of gases. Hence, nothing can actually be eyeballed. What has been observed is not a black hole or any other kind of structure – but a bright outpouring of energy.
