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 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread '3I/ATLAS, Interstellar Comet'

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
