Astronomers have unveiled the first image of a supermassive black hole located right at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy.

The groundbreaking image is the product of an international team of scientists known as the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. The cosmic body is named Sagittarius A-Star.
The black hole is estimated to have 4 million times the mass of our sun and is located about 26,000 light-years from Earth. Scientists say the discovery will help improve our understanding of what happens at the center of our galaxy.

We are lucky to be able to see things the great astronomers of the past couldn't due to these amazing advances in technology.

So dumb cutting her off. She was talking so passionate and made it really fun to listen to.

That was actually a fairly accurate presentation, given the time it was allowed to have and the target audience.

Dr. Issaoun was great, but DW kept showing the image of M87* from 2019 instead of SgrA* from today.

ET is just watching us above and thinks "amateurs" :D

In all seriousness, this is kinda exciting, I like those news! Thank you very much. It is one of the things that I can't even fully comprehend! And likely never will. Well done everyone ;)

From remote future to remote future, where only photons exist, and space/time becomes irrelevant, until another big bang, kinda of a reverse implosion, but still thinking about that metaphor describing Penrose's conforming cyclic universe.

Only 4, 000, 000 x the mass of our sun? Why are we concerned with such a feather-weight?

It is funny that they made this seem brand new but this was done last year now. I do love this type of news though. Keep it up DW!
