Cool!
I always enjoyed being able to see our own Milky Way galaxy at night when I would go camping in upstate NY.
When I was much younger I would look at the constellation Sagittarius where the center of the Milky Way is located (from our point of view) and wonder what was at the core of our "little" island of stars. At best, black holes were thought of as hypothetical possibilities back then, and I'd certainly never heard of them then, so I never imagined anything like the super-massive black hole that a lot of evidence indicates is at the center.
