Center of Milky Way Sgr A* very active

Galactic Center at the sky
The area of our Galactic center with the supermassive black hole, Sgr A*, showed an increase by a factor 75 in the near-infrared over a 2h period. Observations were done with VLT & Keck telescopes. It's not clear what the root cause is and more observations are needed, but this is the first time ever such increase is seen.
