COSMIC MESSAGE
At the center of the Milky Way Galaxy is a black hole with more than 2 million times the mass of the Sun. This conclusion comes from observing stars, like S2, orbiting very close to the galactic center. Astronomers used the Paranal Observatory's very large telescopes and the NACO infrared camera to track these star orbits.
