Galactic Center
The Galactic Center is the rotational center of the Milky Way Galaxy, located about 26,000 light-years from Earth. It is home to a supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A*, which has a mass equivalent to about four million suns. This region is densely packed with stars, gas, and dust, making it a key area for studying the formation and evolution of galaxies.
Astronomers use various methods, including radio and infrared observations, to explore the Galactic Center. The intense gravitational forces and high-energy phenomena in this area provide insights into the behavior of matter and energy in extreme conditions, contributing to our understanding of black holes and galactic dynamics.
