Astronomers have taken the closest look ever at the giant black hole in the center of the Milky Way. By combining telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona, and California, they detected structure at a tiny angular scale of 37 micro-arcseconds - the equivalent of a baseball seen on the surface of the moon, 240,000 miles distant. 'This technique gives us an unmatched view of the region near the Milky Way's central black hole,' said Sheperd Doeleman of MIT, first author of the study. (source: cfa-harvard.edu)
