An image of the supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A(asterisk), and the center of the Milky Way has been released by astronomers. The hole itself is not visible.
Because the Milky Way is disk-shaped, astronomers had to look through clouds of dust and debris to peer at the dense heart of our galaxy where the supermassive black hole was thought to lie.
The supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way is spinning so quickly it is warping the spacetime surrounding it into a shape that can look like a football, according to a new study.

A black hole might conjure images of a dark, quiet void, but never-seen-before images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope reveals the centre of the Milky Way looks more like fireworks.
Now, thanks to the Gaia mission, we have observational evidence of the largest black hole in the Milky Way outside of the supermassive one, with a mass 33 times that of the Sun.
The black hole, called Sagittarius A* (pronounced A-star), is an object about four million times the mass of our Sun and sits at the core of the Milky Way. Black holes are ultra-dense objects with ...
