"Pulsating Supermassive Black Hole: Unveiling the 76-Minute Mystery at Our Galaxy's Core"

Scientists have discovered that the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of our galaxy is pulsing every 76 minutes, emitting gamma radiation in a periodic pattern. This pulsing is similar to changes observed in the black hole's radio and X-ray emissions, suggesting the presence of an object orbiting the black hole. The object is likely a blob of hot gas bound together by a strong magnetic field, generating light at multiple wavelengths. The findings support the interpretation that the gas blob is orbiting the black hole and emitting radiation.
