How Scientists Imaged The Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole | SLICE SCIENCE | FULL DOC

By linking radio telescopes around the world, astronomers created the Event Horizon Telescope, a detector effectively the size of Earth. Using this extraordinary tool, they imaged Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, more than four million times the mass of the Sun. This episode explores the science, technology and human ingenuity behind a breakthrough that transformed the way we observe the most mysterious objects in the universe.
