Which constellation does the Milky Way belong to? The Milky Way is the patron saint of that constellation.

In which constellation is the central direction of the Milky Way located?

The center of the Milky Way is mainly located in Sagittarius A.

The center of the Milky Way is the complex and dense radio source Sagittarius A, and its position near the center contains a supermassive black hole (Sagittarius A*), which is considered as the central black hole of the Milky Way and the supermassive black hole closest to the solar system. The Milky Way consists of silver core, silver core, silver disk, silver halo and silver crown from the inside out.

Most stars in the Milky Way are concentrated in a oblate sphere, which is shaped like a discus. The protruding part in the middle of the oblate sphere is called the "nuclear sphere" with a radius of about 7000 light years. The center of the core ball is called "silver core" and the periphery is called "silver disk". There is a larger spherical area outside the silver disk, where there are few stars and low density, which is called "silver halo" with a diameter of 70 thousand light years.

Extended data:

90% of the matter in the Milky Way is stars. There are many kinds of stars. According to physical properties, chemical composition, spatial distribution and motion characteristics, stars can be divided into five star groups. The youngest extreme group I stars are mainly distributed on the spiral arms in the silver disk; The oldest extreme group II stars are mainly distributed in silver halos. Stars often gather in clusters.

In addition to a large number of binary stars, more than 1000 clusters have been found in the Milky Way. There are also gases and dust in the Milky Way, accounting for about 10% of the total mass of the Milky Way. The distribution of gas and dust is uneven, some gather into nebulae, while others are scattered in interstellar space.
