Thanks to the help of ground-breaking technology and years of work, astronomers have managed to capture the first-ever image of what's lying at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy: a supermassive black hole.
They took the picture using the Event Horizon Telescope, which is actually 11 telescopes scattered around the world. When synced up, they create a virtual telescope dish as large as the earth itself.
Global’s Mike Drolet reports on the out-of-this-world glimpse into the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*.
