Sagittarius A* (thermal
colors)
This false-color image shows the central region of our
Milky Way Galaxy as seen by Chandra. The bright,
point-like source at the center of the image was
produced by a huge X-ray flare that occurred in the
vicinity of the supermassive black hole at the center
of our galaxy. The circle indicates the exact location
of the X-ray flare detected from the supermassive black
hole.
