For more than half a century, theorists insisted that the Milky Way’s central black hole had to be exhaling a wind, but the galactic center stubbornly hid the evidence — until a Northwestern team trained ALMA on Sagittarius A* and found a 45-degree cone of missing molecular gas pointing straight back at it
After half a century of waiting, astronomers have caught the Milky Way’s central black hole exhaling. A team…
