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.
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 .
GCIRS 16SW orbits Sagittarius A* at approximately 19,000 AU, with a period of approximately 1,270 years. [5] At the stars' estimated mass of about 50 solar masses , they are predicted to have a lifespan of about 4 million years, indicating that the system formed within 0.1 parsecs (0.33 ly ; 21,000 AU ) of Sagittarius A*, instead of having ...
The complex radio source Sagittarius A is also in Sagittarius, near its western boundary with Ophiuchus. Astronomers believe that one of its components, known as Sagittarius A*, is associated with a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, with a mass of 2.6 million solar masses. [24]
The $66.5-million five-bedroom home was bought in late April. Pitkin County Assessor records listed a limited liability company as the new owner. It was built on a more than 9,000-square-foot lot ...
S62 is a star in the cluster surrounding Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.S62 was initially thought to orbit extremely close to Sgr A*, with a period of 9.9 years and a closest approach of only 16 astronomical units (2.4 × 10 9 km), less than the distance between Uranus and the Sun.
