This visualisation uses data from simulations of orbital motions of gas swirling around at about 30 percent of the speed of light on a circular orbit around the black hole.

According to a statement from ESO, a "consortium" of scientists from multiple European institutions observed flares of radiation coming fromĀ Sagittarius A, the massive object at the centre of our galaxy. Scientists have long assumed that Sagittarius A was a black hole, but this confirms it.
