An international team of astronomers, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), has made an unexpected discovery: in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, located at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, dust and water can form and be preserved. It was previously believed that the extreme conditions near the black hole — powerful radiation, strong gravitational and tidal forces — should prevent the existence of such substances. Sagittarius A* possesses a mass millions of times greater than that of the Sun and is an object of intensive research due to its relative proximity to Earth by astronomical standards. The high sensitivity of JWST's infrared instruments enabled scientists to peer into regions that were previously inaccessible to observation due to dense clouds of dust and gas obscuring the galactic center in visible light. The detection of water and dust particles near the event horizon of the black hole raises new questions for scientists about the mechanisms of their formation and survival in such an aggressive environment. These substances may form in protected zones of the accretion disk or be transported there from more distant regions of the galaxy. The research may also help scientists better understand processes occurring in the nuclei of active galaxies in general and shed light on the chemical evolution of matter in extreme gravitational fields. Scientists plan to continue observations using JWST to study in greater detail the composition and dynamics of matter near Sagittarius A*. This discovery underscores the unique capabilities of the telescope in studying the most inaccessible and enigmatic objects in the Universe.
