apod.nasa.gov — At the center of our Milky Way Galaxy lies a black hole with over 2 million times the mass of the Sun. Once a controversial claim, this astounding conclusion is now virtually inescapable and based on observations of stars orbiting very near the galactic center. This deep near-infrared image shows the crowded inner 2 light-years of the Milky Way.

Slight correction: the models break down when you get infinitesimally close to the singularity, not as you cross the event horizon.

I think it took them like 15 or 16 years to confirm it,every year on the year took photos, they found a bunch of suns traveling like our planets do around the black hole at speeds in the 10 of millions mph (witch is way faster than the earth move around the sun at i think 7 miles every 2 seconds)
