Sagittarius A* is the 32nd Interstellar Object, the 6th Milky Way Galaxy, and the 2nd Black Hole obtained in the Beyond (Rank 26), which can generate Stardust 
.
Description[]
"The supermassive black hole in the pit of the Milky Way is real and has a name: Sagittarius A star (Sgr A* for short). With a mass of 4.3 million Suns, it could fit inside Mercury’s orbit. No light escapes its grip, but images show EM emissions from matter orbiting it."
Traits[]
The rare traits matching this generators type are: Milky Way . Sagittarius A* is also affected by the epic traits: Cosmology , Dark Matter , Dark Energy . It is also affected by the constellations: Eridanus,Hercules,Cygnus, as well as by the generator rank.

S Stars | The fastest stars in the galaxy helped us nail the black hole’s mass, density, and position. Their erratic, elliptical orbits all converge on it. S62, for one, zips around in 9.9 years at 10% of the speed of light, darting in as close as Uranus is to the Sun. | Generator Unlocked |

Gravitational Singularity | Sgr A* ate a large meal in the 17th century, and the leftover radiation now makes the CND glow. But what of the stuff that fell into the black hole? General relativity says all the matter ends up at a point of infinite density—a singularity. Quantum theory disagrees. | S Stars |
Astronomy Mission[]
"The black part of a black hole has an edge, a spherical radius where matter and energy can’t escape doom because they’d have to move faster than light. That’s impossible, even for photons. Telescopes can peer right up to the event horizon but never beyond it."
Sagittarius A*'s Astronomy Mission is Event Horizon. This mission reduces Sagittarius A*'s cost by up to x10 at Rank 9.

|---|---|---|---|

Hawking Radiation | Pairs of matter and antimatter particles destroy each other. At an event horizon, they could split up instead. One particle slips into the black hole. The other escapes, emitting radiation far too faint to detect and robbing the black hole of a tiny amount of mass. | Sagittarius A* Rank 3 |
|
Time Dilation | All mass bends space-time, which means time moves more slowly at your feet—near Earth’s center of mass—than your head. Massive objects exaggerate time dilation. To an observer, an astronaut near a black hole appears to freeze in time. The astronaut sees no change. | Sagittarius A* Rank 6 |
Trivia[]
- This is currently the fastest generator in Beyond Phase 2.
- Inside the garden, the speed of Sagittarius A*'s acceleration disc and relativistic jet remains consistent no matter what speed the garden is set or if it is paused.
- If you have Sagittarius A* selected and you enter the garden for the first time since the simulation was loaded, the camera will be focused in a point near Sagittarius A* instead of the usual one.
- This could have been a testing point that the developers forgot to remove.
