B How black hole Sgr-A* Was Found

AI Thread Summary
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way has a mass of approximately 4.3 million solar masses, equivalent to 1.4 trillion Earths. Its discovery involved a combination of observational techniques over several decades, culminating in significant advancements in technology and data analysis. The black hole's presence was hinted at through the movement of nearby stars, which indicated a massive, invisible object exerting gravitational influence. Observations from various telescopes, including radio and infrared, played a crucial role in confirming its existence. Sagittarius A* remains a focal point for ongoing research in astrophysics and our understanding of galaxy formation.

The supermassive black hole in our Milky Way weighs about 4.3 million solar masses, equal to 1.4 trillion Earths

Finding the Milky Way in the night sky is fairly easy. A short stroll to a dark, isolated location affords a ready snapshot of its splendor, as a small fraction of its 100 billion to 400 billion stars blaze overhead like a sprawling celestial stream.

Thread 'Venus and Jupiter Conjunction'

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
