The most detailed image of emissions from the vicinity of a black hole in the Alpha Centauri A galaxy The supermassive black hole in the Centauri A galaxy is the closest active black hole to us, which intensely absorbs matter. This process provokes powerful radiation from the center of the galaxy, which is about 12 million light-years away. The new images were obtained in the radio band from the WMA Observatory in Western Australia. 988 views11:00
