B How black hole Sgr-A* Was Found

Click For 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.

Thread 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
