The James Webb Space Telescope has done the impossible. For the first time in human history, we can see clearly through 26,000 light-years of cosmic dust to witness what lurks at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. What JWST discovered at Sagittarius A* has left scientists scrambling to rewrite the textbooks.
A supermassive black hole weighing 4 MILLION times more than our Sun sits at the heart of our galaxy. For decades, astronomers thought they understood this cosmic monster. They were wrong. Stars are being born where physics says nothing should survive. Matter is behaving in ways our equations cannot explain. And the "sleeping giant" may not be sleeping for much longer...
In this calming long-form space documentary, we journey to the most extreme environment humanity can study in detail - the immediate vicinity of a supermassive black hole. We explore what Webb's infrared eyes revealed, why these discoveries are forcing scientists to abandon comfortable theories, and what it all means for our understanding of galaxies throughout the universe.
