interesting, it's in the center of the galaxy and very far like 26,000 light-years away, although the size of the blackhole is 2.6 million times the sun.

if you calculate the speed of light is like 300000 km/s.

traveling in speed of light for 26,000 years, you will finally even get close to the blackhole in milky way.
