Scientists Trying for First Photo of Milky Way Galaxy’s Black Hole

“It turns out that the material falling into a black hole becomes so hot, emitting lots of light, and the light is bent by the gravity of the black hole. It's expected to be bent into a ring shape that's surrounding the shadow cast by the black hole on the emission. So, that's what we're trying to take a picture of.” - Michael Johnson, Ph.D., Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
