Astronomers reveal first image of the black hole at the heart of our galaxy

Astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. This result provides overwhelming evidence that the object is indeed a black hole and yields valuable clues about the workings of such giants, which are thought to reside at the center of most galaxies.

Fermilab astrophysicist Josh Frieman elected to National Academy of Sciences

Fermilab scientist Josh Frieman, former director of the Dark Energy Survey, has been elected by his peers to membership in the National Academy of Sciences, considered one of the highest honors a scientist can receive. Members are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
