| How soon will we see the black hole at the Milky Way's heart? | | An international consortium has been striving to obtain an image of the “shadow” of the event horizon of our Milky Way's central, supermassive black hole. Here's an update.
 Here’s what astronomers see when they look in the direction of our galaxy’s center with NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The Milky Way's central, supermassive black hole - labeled Sagittarius A* - is in this image, but, so far, hot gas has obscured our view of its event horizon. Ellipses indicate light echoes.
