...yet.
Seeing as how the centre of the milky way is about 26490 ±100 light-years away, we don't know that the object still exists.
That's why the past tense was used describing it.
By throwing a probe closer, we'd fast-forward through time.
However, probe communications are also limited by the speed of light so we'd still get information at the same time, unless we figure out quantum-entangled comms.
