Update: Meet Sagittarius A* – Astronomers Reveal First Image of the Black Hole at the Heart of the Milky Way
Today (May 12, 2022) at 9:00 a.m. EDT (6:00 a.m. PDT, 15:00 CEST) The European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project will hold a press conference to present new Milky Way results from the EHT.
The ESO Director General will deliver the opening words. EHT Project Director Huib Jan van Langevelde and EHT Collaboration Board Founding Chair Anton Zensus will also deliver remarks. A panel of EHT researchers will explain the result and answer questions. This panel is composed of:
Thomas Krichbaum, Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Germany Sara Issaoun, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, US and Radboud University, the Netherlands José L. Gómez, Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (CSIC), Spain Christian Fromm, Würzburg University, Germany Mariafelicia de Laurentis, University of Naples “Federico II” and the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), Italy You can watch it live in the YouTube live stream embedded below:

Update: Meet Sagittarius A* – Astronomers Reveal First Image of the Black Hole at the Heart of the Milky Way
Following the press conference, ESO will host an online event for the public on its YouTube channel: a live question and answer session where members of the public will have the opportunity to query another panel of EHT experts. This panel will be composed of:
Sera Markoff, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands Michael Janssen, Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Germany Rocco Lico, Astrophysics Institute of Andalucía, Spain and Istituto di Radioastronomia, Italy Roman Gold, Southern Denmark University, Denmark Violette Impellizzeri, Leiden University, Netherlands Ziri Younsi, University College London, UK This YouTube event will start at 10:30 a.m. EDT (7:30 a.m. PDT, 16:30 CEST) and last for approximately one hour.
Black Hole Image Makes History
Using the Event Horizon Telescope, scientists obtained an image of the black hole at the center of galaxy M87, outlined by emission from hot gas swirling around it under the influence of strong gravity near its event horizon. Credits: Event Horizon Telescope collaboration et al.
The announcement has been a closely guarded secret, although most speculation centers around an announcement related to imaging of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. This is because the last major announcement from the Event Horizon Telescope project was three years ago when they released the first-ever image of a black hole and its shadow (see above image.)
It’s a hamburger patty on a stick!
A shishkaburger
Yes!
This post has nothing to do with candy bars. I feel let down.
Spewing out? I thought black holes sucked in everything, and not even light could escape. Has that “science” been modified?
Outside of the event horizon, anything can happen.............

Someone else will have to verify the science about the radiation, but I think the “beams” are caused by the area just outside the “Event Horizon” where rapidly moving matter comes into contact with slower moving matter. I believe that radiation and heat are released from the tremendous friction between the two. Don’t quote me on this though. :)
I saw that movie.
Why is it 90 % of the stuff they claim to be able to see is always an artist interpretation???
