In 1974 astronomers discovered a bright radio source at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. It was an unknown quantity then, but astronomers now know that the object is a supermassive black hole causing a maelstrom of activity at the galactic center. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

Regularly brightening to a peak over days, weeks or months before fading these variable stars were remarkable curiosities to astronomers in past centuries.€а The term Cepheid is taken from the star Delta Cephei in the constellation of Cepheus, which was identified as variable€а in 1784 by the teenaged prodigy John Goodricke (1764-96). ...
