We finally have the first look at our Milky Way black hole, Sagittarius A*. It’s the dawn of a new era of black hole physics.

The wait is over. Meet the black hole at the center of our galaxy. #OurBlackHole pic.twitter.com/ReETlyIaGk

10, 9, 8, ...3, 2, 1! Revealing the 1st image of the black hole in the center of our Galaxy by @ehtelescope! Epic zoom into the dark heart of the Milky Way using radio light. I hope you like it … #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole Thx: @ERC_Research @BlackHoleCam @Radboud_Unipic.twitter.com/mPMOFQ1JMd

Our own black hole! Astronomers have just revealed the 1st image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy using the @ehtelescope- a planet-scale array of radio telescopes that emerged from decades of NSF support. https://bit.ly/38rC85z  #ourblackhole pic.twitter.com/pd96CH3V0m

We finally have the first look at our #MilkyWay’s black hole, Sagittarius A*! NSF is proud to be an international partner that invests in this innovative research and the infrastructure that makes such fantastic discoveries possible. https://bit.ly/38rC85z  #Ourblackhole pic.twitter.com/FGWsYpI8x3

The image shows a bright ring around a spot of darkness, a spot we have come to understand as a shadow of a black hole, the direct visual evidence of the black hole's existence. https://bit.ly/3sv0OAS  #SgrABlackHole #OurBlackHole pic.twitter.com/HsleS5GPMI

Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A*, was imaged through a global effort. Scientists at the @CenterForAstro were key players in capturing our galaxy’s black hole! #OurBlackHole pic.twitter.com/26nq4yM5pK

Scientists had previously seen stars orbiting around something invisible, compact & very massive at the centre of the #MilkyWay. This suggested that this object is a black hole & today’s image provides the first direct visual evidence of it. Say hello to #OurBlackHole pic.twitter.com/UvU4ERkeiU

It's here: the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way This is the first image of Sagittarius A* (or Sgr A* for short), making it the first direct visual evidence of the presence of this black hole. #OurBlackHole!

Science is for everyone, so it's really important that it is accessible. HT to @kimberlykowal and the NASA visualisation/sonification team for making 3D printable tactile images, and soundscapes, of #OurBlackHole!

Curious about #OurBlackHole? Get the scoop on our galactic neighbor and the team that made this image possible! Sgr A* sits at the center of the Milky Way—that's our galaxy—about 27,000 light years from Earth. Credit: B. Saxton (NRAO/AUI/NSF) pic.twitter.com/zaOGxwRJb6

Yes! It is a supermassive black hole! Today we published the 1st image of the dark heart of our Milky Way. We see the shadow of the even horizon, where light disappears. A dream has come true! #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole Thx: @ehtelescope @ERC_Research @BlackHoleCampic.twitter.com/IoBDUqrs4m

People have been imagining what #blackholes look like since they were predicted by Einstein more than a century ago. We don’t have to imagine anymore! Watch Learn more about #OurBlackHole: https://bit.ly/38rC85z pic.twitter.com/SvYCLVSdCp

Excited about today's @ehtelescope announcement on #ourblackhole? You can now listen to the data! This is a sonification — translation into sound — of the image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), w/@system_soundspic.twitter.com/RGaOzqAAbt

Yesterday, the @ehtelescope revealed the first image of #OurBlackHole at the center of the Milky Way! SOFIA has studied this region, too! The magnetic fields measured by SOFIA may help prevent matter from slamming into the black hole, explaining why it is relatively quiet. pic.twitter.com/M9WXhei0Ec

[2/8] We can’t see the #SgrABlackHole itself, instead we see a bright ring of light around a dark central shadow. #OurBlackHole is 27,000 light years away from Earth, so in the sky it is about the same size as a donut on the Moon would be. pic.twitter.com/PxyYJYj0Jv

[3/8] Astronomers had already observed stars orbiting around the compact, massive, ‘invisible’ SgrA*, and suspected it to be a black hole. The EHT has zoomed-in to provide the first direct visual proof #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHolepic.twitter.com/00NQ5c2ALe

[4/8] #OurBlackhole SgrA* at the center of the Milky Way was sonified. It is a radar-like scan, starting from 12 o'clock and moving clockwise. #SgrABlackHolepic.twitter.com/ls0ERFXT4t

[7/8] An international collaboration of over 300 researchers from 80 institutes around the world took 5 years of intense work to combine all the SgrA* data, analyse it and compare is to simulations #OurBlackHole pic.twitter.com/9Yz8QLcZ1X
