Sagittarius A (or Sgr A) is a complex radio source at the Galactic Core, often considered the heart of the Galaxy.

The region consists of three components, the supernova remnant Sagittarius A East, the spiral structure Sagittarius A West, and the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, a very bright radio source at the centre of the spiral.
