The results of this scan are set to be announced on Wednesday in six major news conferences heralding a breakthrough in humanity's understanding of the universe.
Dr Paul McNamara, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, told AFP: "More than 50 years ago, scientists saw there was something very bright at the centre of our galaxy."
This mysteriously bright object was very dense, and had a "gravitational pull strong enough to make stars orbit around it very quickly - as fast as 20 years", Dr McNamara added.
Our own solar system takes 230 million years to orbit the Milky Way.
