System Specs

Sagittarius A* is the nearest "black hole" to us and it is at the center of the Milky Way. I still think "black holes" are confused with solid fission stars (as opposed to gaseous fusion stars). Atomic decay causes them to leak high-frequency radiation, they're obviously very massive, and they're bright because gases still fuse and burn on the surface like a fusion star would (although not as bright as a traditional fusion star). They could even be the source of the background radiation attributed to the "big bang."
