The Milky Way's central black hole -- Avery Broderick on the EHT and Sgr A*
In May 2022, scientists in the global Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration unveiled humanity's first glimpse of the supermassive black hole at the heart of our own Milky Way galaxy, called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).
Avery Broderick, who leads the EHT Initiative at Perimeter Institute, explains the means and the significance of this discovery. Broderick holds the Delaney Family John Archibald Wheeler Chair at Perimeter, and is an associate faculty member jointly appointed to Perimeter and the University of Waterloo.
