It is likely that there is more than one black hole in our galaxy, but the one believed to be in the centre is called 'Sagittarius A*' (A Star). However, if it is not a black hole, then 'Sagittarius A*' refers to whatever it is found to be instead.

Strictly speaking the black hole itself at the Milky Way's nucleus may not have a name, but the region of space it occupies, which is a powerful radio source, is referred to as 'Sagittarius A*' (Sagittarius a-star). The distinction is trivial enough that in astronomical circles, the region's name might be synonymous with the black hole itself.

It is called Sagittarius A*, abbreviated Sag. A*Note 1: The asterisk is part of the name.Note 2: Technically, that's the name of a region that emits radio wave. But it is closely associated with the black hole.

Which galaxy arms extend from a core full of black holes?

The Milky Way appears to have a huge (even for a black hole) gravitational object at the center of it, and this is supposed by a lot of scientists to be a black hole. The arms of our galaxy sweep around the center.

Could a black hole at the center of the Milky Way change gravity on Earth?

No. The black hole at the center of the galaxy is too far away to affect earth.


Why does Sagittarius A indicate that a black hole is at the center of the universe?

Sorry, the universe does not have one center. According to the usual interpretation of the Big Bang theory, any and all points in the universe can equally be considered centers of the universe.Perhaps you meant to ask "Why does Sagittarius A indicate that a black hole is at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy?" instead. Galaxies do have distinct centers, all spiral galaxies are now believed to have a supermassive black hole at their centers, and our galaxy: the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy. The observations of the object called Sagittarius A match what would be expected of a supermassive black hole and are in the right galactic direction to place it at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

What is at the center of milky way?

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.
