It is a portion of the central bulge of the galaxy seen around the thick dust of the Great Rift , and is the innermost galactic structure that can be observed in visible ...
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.
A map of the IAU-defined constellation boundaries with the equal length signs used in tropical astrology overlaid.One can see that, due to precession and the inequality in the sizes of constellations, it appears that the constellations the signs are based on have moved eastward by nearly a month (or 30 degrees).
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!
