Sagittarius A* in all its glory!

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team that took the first-ever images of a black hole (M87) are back with the first images ever taken of the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. I am absolutely fascinated by these things!

Amazing image!
20 years ago such an image of a black hole would be considered the stuff of science fiction. Incredible.
