Episode 31: Science: How astronomers took photos of the black hole Sagittarius A*

A scientist called Einstein scribbled many notes on papers more than 100 years ago. These included his imaginations and calculations about objects in space. He predicted that there were powerful objects called black holes that could suck everything that came their way, included light. It was in 2019 when astronomers pieced together photos from radio telescopes across the world and released the first ever image of a black hole. More recently, for the second time ever, a direct image of another black hole called the Sagittarius A* at the centre of our very own Milky Way Galaxy was released.
