APOD 3.3


This is a time lapse movie of some stars towards the centre of the galaxy, with the year in the top left corner. As you can see, some of the stars are moving extremely fast relative to the background stars. This is in fact the proof of existence of a supermassive black hole, with the mass of over a million that of our sun, and in the size of a single point.
