THE CENTER OF OUR GALAXY
On a clear, moonless night the shimmering light of the Milky Way glows
especially bright toward the constellation Sagittarius. For years astronomers
have been aware, from the distribution of groups of stars and from
measurements of stellar motions, that objects in our galaxy must travel in orbits
around a center located in that direction.
Astronomers have also found that in most cases other galaxies are especially
bright toward the center because the density of stars increases markedly there. In
many instances the central regions also seem to be the sites of intriguing
behaviour, including the generations of enormous quantities of energy, peculiar
radiations and other unusual effects. More and more, it seems that massive,
unimaginably dense objects – black holes – lie at the heart of some of these
galaxies. Could our own galaxy also harbor such an exotic object at its center?
The central region of the Milky Way has fascinated astronomers for many
decades. After all, our galactic center is only about 25,000 light-years away as
opposed to millions of light-years for centers of the nearest other galaxies, and
so it is the one astronomers might reasonably hope to see and to understand best.
