this summer, the black hole at the centre of the milky way is getting ready to feast.
a gas cloud three times the size of our planet has strayed within the gravitational reach of our
nearest supermassive black hole. and across the globe, telescopes are being trained on the heart of
our milky way galaxy, some 27,000 light years from earth, in the expectation of observing this
unique cosmic spectacle.
for cosmic detectives across the earth, it is a unique opportunity. for the first time in the
history of science, they hope to observe in action the awesome spectacle of a feeding supermassive
black hole.
