Satoki Matsushita is an astrophysicist (天體物理學家) studying black holes (黑洞), and a research fellow at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics here in Taiwan.

ICRT's Trevor Tortomasi chats with Satoki about how we turned Earth into a giant telescope, to take a picture of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy.

We also chat about what we've learned from the image, what's next for telescope technology, and the future of science education in Taiwan.
