(221230) -- BEIJING, Dec. 30, 2022 (Xinhua) -- This photo unveiled on May 12, 2022 shows the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The image was produced by a global research team called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), using observations from a worldwide network of radio telescopes. Xinhua's top 10 world news events in 2022 Highlights abound in humankind's space exploration The year of 2022 marks continuous progress in humankind's exploration of the vast universe. On May 12, astronomers around the world, including China, unveiled the first-ever image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. On July 11, the United States released the first full-color image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. On Sept. 26, NASA conducted its first planetary defense test mission, with a spacecraft intentionally slammed into an asteroid in a test to protect Earth in case of an asteroid impact threat. China has also made continuo

    NASA's Webb Reveals New Features in Heart of Milky Way

    Handout photo - The latest image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows a portion of the dense center of our galaxy in unprecedented detail, including never-before-seen features astronomers have yet to explain. The star-forming region, named Sagittarius C (Sgr C), is about 300 light-years from the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A. Approximate outlines help to define the features in the Sagittarius C (Sgr C) region. Astronomers are studying data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to understand the relationship between these features, as well as other influences in the chaotic galaxy center. The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.
