Galactic center

Galactic Centre

 

Even if we could travel by the speed of light, it would take us over 25,000 years to reach the center of our galaxy.

In the middle is the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, whose mass is 4 milions times greater than the mass of our Sun. All objects in our galaxy, including Earth, orbit it. It is located in the constellation Sagittarius, which is best observable from our latitudes in the coming months. Unfortunately, due to high levels of light pollution, we have to travel to lower latitudes for better conditions.
