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.
A black hole of mass similar to that of Mount Everest, [20] 6.3715 × 10 14 kg, would have a Schwarzschild radius much smaller than a nanometre. [ citation needed ] The Schwarzschild radius would be 2 × 6.6738 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2 × 6.3715 × 10 14 kg / ( 299 792 458 m⋅s −1 ) 2 = 9.46 × 10 −13 m = 9.46 × 10 −4 nm .
We can convert a mass expressed in kilograms to the equivalent mass expressed in metres by multiplying by the conversion factor G/c 2. For example, the Sun's mass of 2.0 × 10 30 kg in SI units is equivalent to 1.5 km. This is half the Schwarzschild radius of a one solar mass black hole. All other conversion factors can be worked out by ...
Venus in Sagittarius is glimmering through your 11th house, which means love and romance could blossom through your network of friends or during a spontaneous group adventure.
An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.
Marking the ninth zodiac sign on the wheel, Sagittarius is a Fire sign that arrives after Scorpio and before Capricorn. It is symbolized by an archer and its season spans Nov. 22 to Dec. 21 in 2025.
