1951: 1866:) in early 2014, when the cloud was at a distance of just over 3,000 times the radius of the event horizon (or ≈260 AU, 36 light-hours) from the black hole. G2 has been observed to be disrupting since 2009, and was predicted by some to be completely destroyed by the encounter, which could have led to a significant brightening of X-ray and other emission from the black hole. Other astronomers suggested the gas cloud could be hiding a dim star, or a binary star merger product, which would hold it together against the tidal forces of Sgr A*, allowing the ensemble to pass by without any effect. In addition to the tidal effects on the cloud itself, it was proposed in May 2013 that, prior to its perinigricon, G2 might experience multiple close encounters with members of the black-hole and neutron-star populations thought to orbit near the Galactic Center, offering some insight to the region surrounding the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. 37: 764: 651: 810: 795: 10980: 410: 826: 779: 7827: 6860: 1963: 1012: 1983: 847:(VLT) to create a virtual telescope 130 metres (430 feet) in diameter, astronomers detected clumps of gas moving at about 30% of the speed of light. Emission from highly energetic electrons very close to the black hole was visible as three prominent bright flares. These exactly match theoretical predictions for hot spots orbiting close to a black hole of four million solar masses. The flares are thought to originate from magnetic interactions in the very hot gas orbiting very close to Sagittarius A*. 1363: 419: 11040: 10944: 8278: 7690: 8268: 11004: 11028: 7700: 10968: 1966: 1969: 1968: 1965: 11016: 1970: 1986: 1985: 1990: 1989: 1984: 1991: 10992: 1379: 1371: 1967: 1988: 434:. The image, which is based on radio interferometer data taken in 2017, confirms that the object contains a black hole. This is the second image of a black hole. This image took five years of calculations to process. The data was collected by eight radio observatories at six geographical sites. Radio images are produced from data by 728:, team leader of the research, said the study has delivered "what is now considered to be the best empirical evidence that supermassive black holes do really exist. The stellar orbits in the Galactic Center show that the central mass concentration of four million solar masses must be a black hole, beyond any reasonable doubt." 2544:; Garcia, P.; Gao, F.; Gendron, E.; Genzel, R.; Gillessen, S.; Guajardo, P.; Habibi, M.; Haubois, X.; Henning, T.; Hippler, S.; Horrobin, M.; Huber, A.; Jiménez Rosales, A.; Jocou, L.; et al.

The average rate of accretion onto Sgr A* is unusually small for a black hole of its mass and is only detectable because it is so close to Earth. It was thought that the passage of G2 in 2013 might offer astronomers the chance to learn much more about how material accretes onto supermassive black
