🔠Computed Position
| Reference object | λ J2000.0 | Ecl. latitude | λ 2026.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galactic Center (l=0°, b=0°) | 26°50′ Sagittarius | -5.54° | 27°11′ Sagittarius |
| Sgr A* (RA 17h45m40.04s, Dec −29°00′28.2″) | 26°50′ Sagittarius | -5.61° | 27°12′ Sagittarius |
The Galactic Center precesses like a fixed star: it crossed into 27° Sagittarius around 2015–2020 and will reach 0° Capricorn around 2230.
Computed with Astropy (ICRS/Galactic/Supergalactic → mean ecliptic of date); drifts ≈ 50.3″/year with precession.
