...of Sagitarrius A*!
As some pundits predicted, the Event Horizon team has now released their second image of a black hole, and this time it's Sagitarrius A*.
Most galaxies are held together by a gravitational anchor in the form of an extremely large black hole, at least in theory.
The image confirms it for sure in the case of one galaxy: Ours.
The picture looks very similar to the one of the other black hole, but has some interesting "spikes" extending out from it. This might be because SgR A* is much smaller, which causes the gas to orbit faster and the image is a composite/average.
