Abstract: A black hole is one of the most interesting objects. Several studies suggest the existence of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the Milky Way due to the orbits of nearby stars, generated by its huge gravitational field. We can study the radiation emitted at different wavelength and thus know what happens in the vicinity of the black hole, for example, the star forming activity close to it. This review is about Sgr A*, its features, and new discoveries.
