Andrea Ghez, head of the UCLA team studying the Milky Way's black hole gave a great TED Talk about it and the stars in its immediate orbit. Very understandable. Video is 16 mins., 57 secs.

Thanks for the post I’ll give it a watch.


PBS made a good documentary on black holes that’s worth a watch for those interested as well. Nova quality
