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.
Sagittarius A* was discovered and named on February 13 and 15, 1974, by astronomers Bruce Balick and Robert Brown using the Green Bank Interferometer of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. [34] They discovered a radio source that emits synchrotron radiation; it was found to be dense and immobile because of its gravitation. This was ...
3rd Planet: Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the subject of historical misconception for centuries. [4] [5] Earth was never formally 'discovered' because it was never an unrecognized entity by humans. However, its shared identity with other bodies as a "planet" is a historically recent discovery.
On 5 January 2015, NASA reported observing an X-ray flare 400 times brighter than usual, a record-breaker, from Sagittarius A*. The unusual event may have been caused by the breaking apart of an asteroid falling into the black hole or by the entanglement of magnetic field lines within gas flowing into Sagittarius A*, according to astronomers.

A "baby" planet that astronomers recently observed some 430 light-years from Earth may be the youngest planet ever discovered. Forming an estimated 3 million years ago, the planet may seem old to us.
Money-wise, Sagittarius gets some very good news this year as Pluto—planet of life and death—moves out of their financial zone for the first time since 2008!
Here, the love planet thrives on excitement, novelty and the thrill of the unknown. Commitments can also feel less appealing during this transit, as Sagittarius prefers to keep things light ...
