In summary, the center of our galaxy is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* located about 26,000 light years away from Earth. Scientists have determined its existence through observing the movement of stars and gas clouds. It cannot be seen with telescopes, but can be studied through infrared telescopes. Studying the center of our galaxy helps us understand galaxy formation and black hole behavior. Most galaxies, including our own, have supermassive black holes at their centers, and their mass is related to the mass and properties of the galaxy.

What star in what constellation is closest to looking dead center into the eye of our galaxcy?

And why dosesnt the fog of the milkyway cross the sky around the ecliptic? Is our solar system relative to our galaxcy like two plates on a floor or are they different like how neptunes rings are turned like 90 degrees from the ecliptic?

The center is in the general direction of the southern edge of Sagittarius, not too far from the star Kaus Australis, about 10 degrees away.

Our solar system and the galactic plane are inclined to each other, yes.
 

Related to Looking at center of our galaxcy question.

1. What is the center of our galaxy?

The center of our galaxy is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-star"). It is located about 26,000 light years away from Earth in the direction of the Sagittarius constellation.

2. How do we know the center of our galaxy is a black hole?

Scientists have observed the movement of stars and gas clouds around the center of our galaxy and determined that there must be a massive, invisible object at the center exerting a strong gravitational force. This object is believed to be a black hole.

3. Can we see the center of our galaxy with telescopes?

No, we cannot see the center of our galaxy with telescopes because it is obscured by interstellar dust and gas. However, infrared telescopes can detect the heat emitted by the objects near the center, allowing scientists to study and observe the region.

4. What is the significance of studying the center of our galaxy?

Studying the center of our galaxy allows us to better understand the formation and evolution of galaxies. It also provides insights into the behavior of black holes and the extreme environments near them.

5. Are there other galaxies with supermassive black holes at their centers?

Yes, most galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have supermassive black holes at their centers. Observations of other galaxies have also shown that the mass of the black hole is closely related to the mass and properties of the galaxy itself.
