NOVA Series 33 Episode 16 aired Oct 31, 2006.
It looks like it was originally produced in 1974, this NOVA Program Number 3314, focuses on our local black hole and tells how it was detected.
Just about every galaxy in the universe has a black hole. The problem is that in about five minutes tells how we detected our "The Monster of the Milky Way." Mostly the detection is by tracing star movements. The balance of the presentation is fluffy. We even get scenes from
The Black Hole (1979).
Liev Schreiber is the narrator.
We have seen the other presenters in other Nova and Nova like presentations.
