Charles Messier. The first edition of 1774 covered 45 objects (M1 to M45).The total list published by Messier in 1781 contained 103 objects, but the list was expanded through successive additions by other astronomers, motivated by notes in Messier's and Méchain's texts indicating that at least one of them knew of the additional objects.
One of the most studied stars is S2, a relatively bright star that also passes close by Sgr A*. As of 2020 [update] , S4714 is the current record holder of closest approach to Sagittarius A*, at about 12.6 astronomical units (1.88 × 10 9 km), almost as close as Saturn gets to the Sun, traveling at about 8% of the speed of light.
