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 .
The existence of these relatively young stars was a surprise to experts, who expected the tidal forces from the central black hole to prevent their formation. [48] This paradox of youth is even stronger for stars that are on very tight orbits around Sagittarius A*, such as S2 and S0-102.
