The mass of Sagittarius A

Submitted : Spring 2019

 

This paper provides and insight into the world of astronomy and blackholes. With the recent photograph of the black hole taken on April 10^th, 2019 a lot of new discoveries and assumptions are being made within the realm of astronomy. So, for my project I thought why not revisit one of the fundamental principles of astronomy Kepler’s law of planetary motion. Within this project Kepler’s Law will be used to determine the size of the black hole at the center of the milky way.
