NASA to Announce Success of Long Galactic Hunt

WASHINGTON -- NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. This finding was made by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory with ground-based observations.

Maybe actual direct evidence of a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Maybe its just the event horizon.

Either way, it should be interesting to say the least. I'll be watching it.
