    📡We've finally captured the Milky Way's black hole "breathing." Astronomers, using ALMA, have finally found evidence that the supermassive black hole Sgr A* 🌀is emitting a hot cosmic wind. 📷: ALMA 🤝 @chandraxray almaobservatory.org/en/press-relea…
    This composite image overlays data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory. It shows evidence for a wind blowing away from Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy. The white dot in the center of the image shows Sgr A*. In orange is data from ALMA radio telescopes in Chile, mapping the location of cold gas composed of carbon monoxide in the image. In blue is X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. A large cone-shaped cavity, visible as an absence of cold gas in the ALMA data, is filled by hot X-ray-emitting gas in the Chandra data. Researchers think a hot, energetic wind blowing from Sgr A* created this structure by sweeping the cold gas away or heating it up. Image Credit: Northwestern Univ./M.

    This is the image obtained by EHT of M87! You are looking at the first direct image of a black hole! #EHTBlackHole #RealBlackHole 🌀

    Andromeda, I observed you from Earth 2.5 million light years in the Milky Way. Someday we'll be Together? 👀 📷: From ALMA, by our photo- ambassador, Pablo Carrillo. #Space #tuesdaymotivations

    🧵[3/8] Astronomers had already observed stars orbiting around the compact, massive, ‘invisible’ SgrA*🌀, and suspected it to be a black hole. The EHT has zoomed-in to provide the first direct visual proof #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole

    #BreakingNews For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star✨, R Doradus, were obtained with ALMA📡, in July and August 2023 🔗almaobservatory.org/en/press-relea…
