Broderick's work builds on earlier research by two teams that studied the galactic center of the Milky Way in near-infrared. This included the work of Reinhard Genzel, an astronomer from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany, as well as researchers Andrea Ghez and Mark Morris of University of California, Los Angeles. At the time, their work revealed that the center of the Milky Way wasn't steady, but instead would drastically brighten about once a day for about 30 or 40 minutes, Broderick said.
Researchers think supermassive black holes exist at the center of most, if not all, large galaxies. Therefore, in 2005, while working alongside researcher Avi Loeb at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Broderick argued that a periodic brightening observed at the heart of the Milky Way, also known as a bright infrared flare, was the result of an incredibly massive object such as a black hole.
This theory was further supported by evidence of a very bright, dense group of stars called a nuclear star cluster that surrounds the central region of the Milky Way. In addition, infrared observations showed that the stars at the very center of the galaxy orbit a dark object estimated to be 4 million solar masses in size, again suggesting the presence of a black hole, Broderick said.
Even still, there was not enough data to prove that a black hole truly exists at the center of the Milky Way, Broderick added — until now.

That headline line just SOUNDS so kinky. I mean, if you are an A$$tronomer this might be better than phone sex.
Ha ha - Telescope Sex!!

There was a time when astronomy threads on this site were fascinating and educational. The occasional joke or wisecrack kept the conversations light and airy.
No more. Such threads are now little more than jokefests.

do you know what that is originally from?
The video for the song She Blinded Me With Science?
thx
Nice.
Stealing that.
Thanks BenLurkin.
Now we know what those filthy astronomers have been peeking at.
