It contains a number of radio sources, including Sagittarius A, the compact region around the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, as well as the black hole itself. When flaring, the accretion disk around the supermassive black hole lights up, detectable in radio waves.
S2, also known as S0–2, is a star in the star cluster close to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), orbiting it with a period of 16.0518 years, a semi-major axis of about 970 au, and a pericenter distance of 17 light hours (18 Tm or 120 au) – an orbit with a period only about 30% longer than that of Jupiter around the Sun, but coming no closer than about four times the ...
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope [11] Astronomers now have evidence that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. [12] Sagittarius A* (abbreviated Sgr A*) is agreed to be the most plausible candidate for the location of this supermassive black hole.
In 2024, Sagittarius season officially began on Nov. 21 and will run through Dec. 21. Mesa explains that the sun will enter the Fire sign "at 2:56 p.m. EST, where it will remain until Dec. 21 at 4 ...
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 .
Marking the ninth zodiac sign on the wheel, Sagittarius is a Fire sign that arrives after Scorpio and before Capricorn. It is symbolized by an archer and its season spans Nov. 22 to Dec. 21 in 2025.
