"The centre of the Milky Way is never visible from the Jodrell Plank Observatory so this data from the Bradford Robotic Telescope on Mount Teide is a way by which we can showcase the centre of our home galaxy. It is thrilling to think that somewhere in the area highlighted lurks a massive blackhole with a mass equivalent to 4million solar masses".- Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
