Black Hole images from Astronomy Picture of the day of Sgr A*: Fast Stars Near the Galactic Center http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001220.html image credit to A. Eckart (U. Koeln) & R. Genzel (MPE-Garching), SHARP I, NTT, La Silla Obs., ESO
These images show stars rotating around a suspected black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The frames shown here taken from the time-lapse images, and presented for their stereo effect. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to capture the images exactly, and don’t know the timing between each frame… coming soon.
