Supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way. It is surrounding by concentric rings of rapidly expanding matter, evidence of a massive explosion.
The supermassive hole and its environs has been observed by the telescopes of the Terragen Civilisation for ten thousand years, and conclusive evidence indicates that Sgr A* is surrounded at some distance by an advanced civilisation assigned the label HEEC-MW-1.
Several long-distance missions have departed towards Sgr A*, but will not arrive for tens of thousands of years.
