The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy may not have a formal name yet, but takes its identification from a powerful radio source "Sagittarius A*" (where the asterisk is part of the name). Because of the discovery of this energy source it's commonly believed a black hole must be located there, powering the emissions perhaps because of the black hole's accretion disk or relativistic jets.
