A Bright Mystery

In August 2019, Scientists spotted that the centre of our own galaxy, The Milky Way became 75 times brighter in just a few hours. It was in the Near-infrared spectrum so wasn’t visible to the ‘naked eye’. This was an increase far greater and faster than ever seen before.

Some Astronomers were at a loss as to how this occurred. Some people speculated that the flare-up was caused by a star falling into the black hole at the centre. The black hole is called Sagittarius A.

Of course, according to The Black Hole Principle, sudden flare-ups in brightness are to be expected. This is because, as light reaches us from higher dimensions, it splits into matter and antimatter. But then these can recombine to form light again. This can take various forms including gamma-ray bursts.

Our Breathing Galaxy

The timing of these cycles varies, from a few seconds to several months or even more. This is why we see these sudden flare-ups. They represent the ‘breathing’ process of The Black Hole Principle.

We even have some evidence that the gases near the centre of the Milky Way called High-velocity clouds ‘breathe’ in and out.

A quote from a Scientific American article discussing clouds of gas in the Milky Way that appear to be breathing in and out.

A problem solved

When you understand the underlying pattern, the sudden brightness of the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way can be explained. As to how it becomes so bright – well we are talking about the light from infinity coming into our world!
