Astronomers have discovered "space tornadoes" raging through the heart of the Milky Way in the vicinity of our galaxy's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). The discovery provided the team with a more complete view of the cycle of creation and destruction at the heart of our galaxy.
The researchers made the discovery using a network of radio telescopes in Chile called the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA), which sharpened our view of motion within Milky Way region called the central molecular zone (CMZ) by a factor of 100.
