I an a little confused because other aggregators are also showing this. Wasn't this image released months ago, like last April or something?

So, what is new here?

That was a black hole in another galaxy. This one is the black hole in our galaxy.

Messier 87

Thank you! I incorrectly thought, always mistakenly had assumed that the last image (the first image of a black hole) was Sgr A*. I was an idiot all this time.

There seem to be numerous submissions of this topic.

This thread seems to be the leading one:

Thank you! I did a quick search for sagittarius beforehand that yielded only the announcement. Probably missed a "t" in sagittarius doing the search.

I eyeballed it. Too many different terms used in titles.

"black hole", "eso", "event horizon", ...
