Domain of Science | Black Hole Super Zoom! @domainofscience | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated June 27 2024
Everyone is talking about the black hole image, which is amazing! But I've been wondering where actually is the black hole? So here it is. It is inbetween the virgo and leo constellations. Although you can't see it (unless you have a planet sized radio telescope array), it is still nice to know where it is.
