The beauty of the Milky Way Galaxy Camera Caught - Observation instrument NACO or Nasmyth Adaptive Optics System on the Very Large Telescope (VLT). European Southern Observatory (ESO) to capture the view of the object in space. Pictures captured this |is the center of the Milky Way galaxy luminosity.

Reported by Space, Friday (01/02/2013), the central part of the Milky Way galaxy observed by NACO instrument VTL. Astronomers have been following the development of the movement of the stars center for more than 16 years.

Astronomers were able to determine the mass of the supermassive black hole located in the center of the galaxy. Reportedly, the Milky Way galaxy is populated by 200 to 400 billion stars with a diameter of 100 thousand light years.

Wikipedia explains, the distance between the sun and the galactic center is estimated to 27.7 thousand light years. In the Milky Way there are solar system, which also contains the planets including Earth.

Scientists have long believed that at the center of the galaxy, there is a supermassive black hole. The constellation Sagittarius is considered as the location of the black hole.

Reportedly, the size of the Milky Way with the Andromeda galaxy similar trustworthy. Using telescopes Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), scientists measure the local shear formation of stars.

Milky Way requires 225 to 250 million years to complete one orbit. Thus, this galaxy has 20 to 25 times around the center of the galaxy since the first formation.
