An artist’s illustration depicts the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*. It’s surrounded by a swirling accretion disk of hot gas and dust.
This is the first image of Sagittarius A* (or Sgr A* for short), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, 27,000 light-years from Earth.
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.
The first image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, named Sagittarius A*, has been captured by NASA's Event Horizon Telescope.
The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list.. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses (M ☉), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms.
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.
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope. [32] The complex astronomical radio source Sagittarius A appears to be located almost exactly at the Galactic Center and contains an intense compact radio source, Sagittarius A*, which coincides with a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
To conduct this study, the team used the telescope’s infrared imaging capabilities, observing Sagittarius A* for 48 hours during the course of a year and tracking the black hole’s changes.
