NASA to Announce Success of Long Galactic HuntMy guess is they've spotted the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. They've been looking for it with the Chandra X-ray telescope for some time.
NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years.
The image above (click to enlarge) is a radio image of the area around the galactic center. The galactic black hole is in the extremely bright region marked Sgr A.
Update
Hmm. Gotta wonder what all the fuss was about - the news from NASA is "Chandra Uncovers Youngest Supernova in Our Galaxy".
