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 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 .
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 pair of stars that constitute this system have an angular separation of 28.3 [11] arc seconds, with an estimated physical separation of about 3,290 AU. [4] The primary, Beta 1 Sagittarii A, is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 V. [3] [4] It is about 95% of the way through its lifespan on the main sequence. [7]
Nu 1 Sagittarii (ν 1 Sagittarii, abbreviated Nu 1 Sgr, ν 1 Sgr) is a triple star system [7] about 1,100 light-years from Earth.Its three components are designated Nu 1 Sagittarii A (officially named Ainalrami / ɛ n əl ˈ r eɪ m i /, the traditional name for the system), [8] B and C. [9] A and B themselves form a spectroscopic binary. [7]

Chi 1 Sagittarii (χ 1 Sagittarii) is a binary star [6] system in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. The pair have a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.03, [2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.95 mas as seen from Earth, [1] it is located around 252 light years from the Sun.
