Hampshire College Astronomer, Dr. Salman Hameed (Mr. Universe!) invited his friend UMass Astronomer Dr. Gopal Narayanan (Mr. Black Hole?) who worked with UMass’s Large Millimeter Telescope, part of the network of telescope that released an image of our very own black hole at the center of the Milky Way. It’s called Sagitarius a*. Find out how they did it, how UMass was involved, and why it took so long to get the image to the public.
