The European Southern Observatory released this new image of the Milky Way’s black hole March 27, 2024. The newly released image shows the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy in polarized light. Polarized light enables astronomers to map a black hole’s magnetic field lines. The discovery also suggests our galaxy’s black hole may be harboring a hidden jet. Image via EHT Collaboration/ ESO.
So how long is it gonna take for its pictures to be as sharp as the pictures we currently can take of distant star systems?
However long it takes us to build a craft with a camera that can climb above the galactic plane and look down at the core. There's too much stuff in the way from where we are:
So...not before next Tuesday?
Probably not. As far away as Voyager 1 & 2 are, if you marked them on this map they would still just be on top of our star.
