The Milky Way Galaxy's Sagittarius A* Black Hole: An Introduction (Part 2)

 The Milky Way Galaxy's Sagittarius A* Black Hole: An Introduction (Part 2)

Our Galaxy is shaped like a whirlpool, with long strips of cosmic gas and dust swirling around the center. And like a whirlpool, objects that float too close are dragged into the center never to be seen again.  The fate of these unfortunate objects is no mystery. Lurking in the dark at the heart of our Galaxy is a gigantic, hungry monster—a supermassive black hole.
