It might sound trite to say that the Universe is full of mysteries. But it's true.Chief among them are things like dark matter dark Energy, and of course, our old friends the Black Holes.Black Holes may be the most interesting of them all, and the effort to understand them and observe them is ongoing.That effort will be ramped up in April, when the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) attempts to capture our first image of a Black Hole and its event horizon.The target of the EHT is none other than Sagittarius A* the monster black hole that lies in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.Though the EHT will spend 10 days gathering the data, the actual image won't be finished processing and available until 2018.
