Yesterday Panzer sent you to information about the SFWA Conference. Today he's sending you to information about the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Yesterday was fiction. Today is reality.

 

According to various posts, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration has announced the first image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Included in the posts is information about how black holes work and how the image was captured. An image of the black hole was released on Twitter earlier this week.
