Today, the Event Horizon Telescope was suppose to release images of M87 and Sagittarius A - it only showed M87 which is 100 plus millions of lights years away. Meanwhile, they choose not to show Sagittarius A(the Milky Way's central supermassive blackhole - to the tune of 4 million solar masses. M87's supermassive blackhole is a like 20 billion solar masses)

They say Sagittarius A is too jittery. They're not sure, but Sagittarius A is too energetic to photograph; it's energies makes the image smudgy.

My wild hypothesis is the supermassive black hole is shaking the local spacetime, causing it to blur.

Note, Sagittarius A is spinning at 30% of the speed of light.
