    Today Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel & Andrea Ghez were awarded the 2020 for Physics for their work studying black holes! provided a unique look at the black hole at the center of our galaxy by monitoring the variation in infrared emission from Sgr A*.

    At the center of our Milky Way galaxy lies a cosmic beast called Sagittarius A*. This supermassive black hole packs about four million sun-masses into a volume roughly the size of our solar system.
