Recently there was a major announcement about the image of Black Hole which lurks at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. It was a major triumph requiring the coordination of large numbers of radio telescopes from around the globe. The Black Hole, known as Sagittarius A has been studied for many years as it is the source of many powerful pulses of radiation it lies 26.000 light years distant and it is 4.6 million times more massive than the Sun. As you may know Black Holes possess a colossal gravity and any object which approaches too close will be drawn inside and as they fall into the immense gravity-well they are torn apart and emit extremely powerful x-rays.
