Nobel Prize in Physics 2020: the black hole in the Milky Way galaxy

Andrea Ghez and Reinhard Genzel were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 for their discovery of the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. In my talk I will review the history of their research work from a front-line point of view (having worked closely with the two researchers on this topic). I will explain the methods and measurements they used and the strength of their results.
