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 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 science and philosophy channel Kurzgesagt has come out with a mind-blowing size comparison of the universe's black holes. The post Black Hole Size Comparison Chart Gives New View of Universe ...
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope [8] Astronomers now have evidence that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. [9] Sagittarius A* (abbreviated Sgr A*) is agreed to be the most plausible candidate for the location of this supermassive black hole.
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 .
Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with grav. At the center of the Milky Way galaxy resides a supermassive black hole four million times the mass of our sun called Sagittarius A* that ...
Size comparison of a hypothetical quasi-star to some of the largest known stars. A quasi-star rendered with Celestia. A quasi-star (also called black hole star) is a hypothetical type of extremely large and luminous star that may have existed early in the history of the Universe.
This image indicates the location of the newly discovered binary star D9, which is orbiting Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. It is the first star pair ever ...
