Astro Brief: Modeling Black Holes

EHT Collaboration

3D model of flare around center of Milky Way generated

In a recent paper published in April, astronomers applied new technologies to observations of Sagittarius A* to generate a 3D model and animation of a flare around the center of our galaxy.

Join us this week as Mike discusses the significance of the model.
