The black hole at the center of our galaxy called Sagittarius A (Sgr A), and it is estimated that its mass 4.5 million times the mass of our sun. Scientists have recorded the highest emission from Sgr A substance at the time of observation of the interaction of the black hole and a gas cloud known as G2.

The X-ray emission (flash) was 400 times brighter than usual, and most likely could not be associated with the G2.

Astrophysics put forward two reasons for the emergence of such a powerful flash.

The first theory suggests that the record of emissions of substances could result in the destruction of the black hole close to it approached the asteroid. According to the second theory, the outbreak is linked to the interaction of magnetic lines of force in the gas stream flowing to the black hole.
