No references found			Thanks to this unique dataset, we could show that the most energetic radiation is emitted in the central light-day away from the supermassive black hole and, more importantly, that the energy decreases with distance to the black hole almost exactly in the way predicted by theory," said Alexander Eigenbrod, who completed the analysis of the data.

Homing in on Milky Way's black hole by Cowen, R. / Science News Careful study of the light echoes shows that the dust clouds are dense but thin sheets of material, perhaps only a light-day or so-thick.
