At the center of our galaxy lives a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*. 🔭
Amanda Peake, a PhD candidate at @mitkavliinstitute2435, explores Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Astrophysicists are so fascinated by it because it controls our entire galaxy. The Sun is in orbit around Sagittarius A*, which means our existence here on Earth is fundamentally dictated by it. Everything in our galaxy is arranged in a spiral around the massive black hole at the center.
