About 3.9 billion years ago. Don't worry, not a hazard to us!

Astronomer's telescopes capture supermassive black hole as it devours a star! But we're not going to show you that, instead we animated what we think you'd rather see!

Technically, they can't really "show us that." Not visually. We don't see x-rays.

Still, CNN's graphic sucks.

There's at least one supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, just a few thousand parsecs from here.
