The authors also help their explanation by providing pictures and examples of what they are talking about such as a picture comparing Sgr A* in 2008 and then in 2013 which each show a major difference. They also provide a graph that shows other black holes in relation to Sgr A* this helps the reader fully comprehend what the authors are talking about.
