Astronomers have discovered that there is a black hole in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.

You would look towards Sagittarius to see galactic center. Today, October 12th, 2007, in Philadelphia, I would look south, and then up a bit from the horizon now at 7:45pm. Up and to the left would be Capicorn, but by looking a bit to the east I could also see Pisces and then Aquarius in the South East sky.
Your right about looking towards Sagittarius (in fact, the black hole is NAMED Sagittarius A). I'm just not sure what time of year that is in the northern sky.
I'd say techfun's right. What do you say Pam ?
Yeah, techfun got it - I was thinking 'Summer' for when to look for that area. It's the best time of the year to catch it in the evening after the sun goes down.
WTG techfun!
