Video insights

@nationalspacesociety's TikTok video "Let’s travel to the heart of the Milky Way, where the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* lies hidden behind dense clouds of dust. Although the black hole itself can't be seen directly, astronomers have confirmed its existence by tracking the stars racing around it. Note: The initial zoom uses real observations from the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). The final view of Sagittarius A* is an artist's illustration based on scientific observations and is not a real photograph. Credit: Zoom-in: CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/STScI, W. Clarkson (UM-Dearborn), C.
