I need to do research on Sgr A* but find it hard to organize dates of history and discovery 70.163.244.131 (talk) 01:06, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading the article correctly the figures given the table are probably wrong suggesting we should remove it.©Geni (talk) 07:02, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. Certainly the 2024 evidence seems to belie the 2020 numbers which are in the article. If not removing the line entirely, certainly flagging the entry indicating it has not shown a 9.9 year orbit would be worthwhile. Tarl N. (discuss) 01:36, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
