Chandra X-Ray Observatory Captures Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole Activity Image
This stunning depiction of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is captured by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory over a period of two weeks. Flanked by massive lobes of 20-million degree gas, this image showcases the monumental explosions that have occurred over the past 10,000 years around this starved black hole, which is 3-million times the mass of the sun. Ideal for educational purposes and use in astronomy research presentations or scientific publications.
