Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. It is located near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, about 5.6 degrees south of the ecliptic, visually close to the Butterfly Cluster and Lambda Scorpii. On May 12, 2022, astronomers released this first image of the accretion disk around the event horizon of Sagittarius A*, produced in April 2017 by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a worldwide network of radio observatories, confirming the object to be a black hole. This was the second confirmed image of a black hole, after EHT's image of M87* released in 2019.

Split proposal for Sagittarius A*#Discovery of G2 gas cloud on an accretion course

This section of the article is disproportionately long compared to other objects orbiting Sagittarius A*, so I'd recommond splitting this content to a new article on top of the redirect G2 gas cloud. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 09:55, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Good idea. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 03:39, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
