They located it by searching for high-energy X-ray radiation in periodic bursts.
Astronomers suspect that a super massive black hole is at the center of the Milky Way. Over a period of several years, astronomers have observed that stars near the center of the Milky Way are orbiting an object with massive gravitation, and the object emits no light. What can it be? A black hole is the best answer, and by the way the stars move, it must a super massive one.
Astronomers believe that black holes exist in the center of every universe. They even think that there may be a black hole in the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way
The very center is believed to contain a very powerful black hole.
Astronomers believe a supermassive black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way galaxy because of the high speeds of stars and gas near the center, as well as the intense radiation emitted from that region. These observations suggest the presence of a massive object that can only be explained by a supermassive black hole.
Astronomers hypothesize the presence of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way because of the high velocities exhibited by stars orbiting the region and the intense radiation emitted, which is characteristic of black hole activity. Additionally, observations of other galaxies suggest that supermassive black holes are common in galactic centers.
No - The volume of the Milky Way galaxy is larger than the volume of its host black hole. The accumulated mass of the Milky Way galaxy is greater than the mass of its host black hole. The density of the Milky Way galaxy is much smaller than the density of its host black hole.
The middle of the milky way is a black hole and a black hole cannot be made up as matter. The middle of the milky way has no size, but the black hole sucks the light making it look big in pictures. The actual size is nothing.
It is suggested that there is a black hole in the center of not just The Milky Way, but most other galaxies.
One theory suggests that a black hole (a collapsed star with immense density) is located in the center of the galaxy. Another theory suggests that there's a wormhole leading to a whole other universe or dimension.
Astronomers know because they have studied star patterns and placements and know when there has been a change between where there is a black hole and where there isn't one.
I believe the closest black hole is in the center of the Milky Way galaxy... But is a black hole a dark hole? Hmm.
Black holes are common in most galaxies. It is not odd that there would be a black hole in the middle of the Milky Way.
