Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A*, is a massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way (Credit: EHT Collaboration)

On May 12, 2022, an international team of astronomers led by scientists at the Harvard—Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics revealed the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Researchers have known about the black hole, called Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A* (pronounced sadge-ay-star), since the 1970s. However, until now, its existence had only been deduced from its effect on surrounding stars and dust. The stunning picture is the first direct visual evidence of our galaxy's black hole.

        a black hole the size of a atom is as heavy as mount everest

          can be. black hole's size can change by practically nothing, and the mass, or weight, be changed drastically. so a black hole the size of an atom could be as heavy as your pinky finger, or it could be the size of an atom plus one electron, and be the weight of everest. (don't quote me on this, that might not be the exact size:weight ratio, but still the point still stands)

              Cool i wonder though even if it millions of light years away because it is WAY bigger than the sun (which is humongous) how come it hasn't sucked up everything already? #Space #BlackHole #Science

                because our distance away from it is too far for us to get sucked in, even tho it's massive we're still safe... for now.

                  That's so interesting! Imagine other black holes in the middle of other galaxies!

                      Thus is interesting that the universe is so big and the black hole is bigger than our Sun!! 👽🌍☀
