For years, the black hole in the dark center of the Milky Way has been studied and speculated about, and finally, it has been captured in an image.

We finally have the first look at our black hole, Sagittarius A*, an international team of astrophysicists and researchers from the event horizon telescope team announced on Thursday.

It said that it was the dawn of a new era of black hole physics.

In a series of news conferences held around the world, the researchers announced the news on Thursday morning at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

The first-ever image of a black hole was released by the event horizon telescope collaboration three years ago, but that work focused on the center of the universe.
