American-German-Dutch astronomers combined radio telescopes in California, Arizona, and Hawaii to make a very long baseline interferometer (VLBI)--a "virtual" telescope. It was able to measure the structure within Sagittarius A*, what is believed to be the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
