ALMA captured, for the first time, the accretion flow _towards_ a supermassive black hole. Identifying this flow had long been a challenge, due to the small scale of these regions and the complex gas motion near galactic centers. They saw where the foreground molecular gas absorbed the bright light coming from the Active Galaxy Nucleus, and evidence of its movement.
