Safe Mode: On
Zooming Into The Center Of The Milky Way to a super massive black hole

We start with a view of the Milky Way and zoom in towards the
crowded central region, in the constellation of Sagittarius (The
Archer).
By shifting to an infrared red view we see through the dusty
clouds in this direction and get a close up view of the objects
orbiting the super massive black hole that lies at the center of the
Milky Way. Finally we see the motion of a newly-discovered gas cloud
that is falling rapidly towards the central black hole. Makes you feel kind of small
