WASHINGTON, June 5 : After five decades of trying, astronomers have finally discovered the wind emanating from the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, though it turns out it is more of a gentle breeze than a hurricane.Using data from the Chile-based ALMA telescope and NASA's orbitin
Astrophysicists at Northwestern University detected a powerful wind coming from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole located in the center of the Milky Way. Thus, they solved a mystery that they had been investigating for 50 years. To find this finding, they used 5 years of deep observations of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope, which is located in northern Chile.
