Apod 1.9

Deep in the center of our galaxy, the milky way, lies a large black hole.  This black hole is massive, roughly 4 million times the mass of the sun, and 27,000 light years away. It is fairly inactive when compared to to other black holes, but a recent flare up allowed for this image to be taken.
