Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly quiet. It’s not creating any galaxy-wide tantrums that should worry us.
A team that included University of Arizona astronomers captured the infrared image of the supermassive black hole using a Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer.
Using IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists identify hundreds of obscured black holes hidden behind gas and dust.
