A picture of the Black Hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy
Astronomers were able to image the second picture of a black hole over with the first picture taken in 2019. This month, astronomers from around the world combined high powered telescopes to image the black hole at the center of the milky way galaxy known as Sagittarius A. Black holes form when a massive object in space such as a star collapses under its own eight and pressure and creates a massive supernova explosion. Following the explosion, a black hole forms which is believed to have infinite density and its gravitational pull is so strong that nothing can escape its gravitational pull, not even light. If the star is not heavy enough when it collapses, it becomes a neutron star. The imaging of the second black hole in the universe at the center of the milky galaxy is a big leap and accomplishment for astronomers to study more about black holes in the universe.
