Sagittarius A*, abbreviated as Sgr A* (/ ˈ s æ dʒ ˈ eɪ s t ɑːr / SADGE-AY-star [3]), is the supermassive black hole [4] [5] [6] at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way.Viewed from Earth, it is located near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, about 5.6° south of the ecliptic, [7] visually close to the Butterfly Cluster (M6) and Lambda Scorpii.
Sagittarius A (Sgr A) is a complex radio source at the center of the Milky Way, which contains a supermassive black hole.It is located between Scorpius and Sagittarius, and is hidden from view at optical wavelengths by large clouds of cosmic dust in the spiral arms of the Milky Way.
NGC 6559 is a star-forming region located at a distance of about 5000 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Sagittarius, showing both emission (red) and reflection (blue) regions. In addition, several other nebulae have been located within Sagittarius and are of interest to astronomy.
The Sagittarius A* cluster is the cluster of stars in close orbit around Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way (in the Galactic Center). The individual stars are often listed as " S-stars ", but their names and IDs are not formalized, and stars can have different numbers in different catalogues .
Chi 1 Sagittarii (χ 1 Sagittarii) is a binary star [6] system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. The pair have a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.03, [2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.95 mas as seen from Earth, [1] it is located around 252 light years from the Sun.
A planetary surface is where the solid or liquid material of certain types of astronomical objects contacts the atmosphere or outer space. Planetary surfaces are found on solid objects of planetary mass, including terrestrial planets (including Earth), dwarf planets, natural satellites, planetesimals and many other small Solar System bodies ...
Meanwhile, Gemini’s mutable air is the perfect balance for Sagittarius’ fiery personality. “Both are curious, love to explore and find joy in each other's company,” Rodriguez says.
The three components are designated Zeta Sagittarii Aa (officially named Ascella / ə ˈ s ɛ l ə /, the traditional name for the entire system), [9] [10] Ab and B. [6] The Washington Double Star Catalog cites a component separated 72.3" from the system, but it is a background star unrelated to the pair.
