Difference between Gravitational lens and Sagittarius A*

Gravitational lens vs. Sagittarius A*

A gravitational lens is a distribution of matter (such as a cluster of galaxies) between a distant light source and an observer, that is capable of bending the light from the source as the light travels towards the observer. Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-star", standard abbreviation Sgr A*) is a bright and very compact astronomical radio source at the center of the Milky Way, near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius.

Similarities between Gravitational lens and Sagittarius A*

Gravitational lens and Sagittarius A* have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Astronomical unit, General relativity, Gravitational lens, Milky Way, Minute and second of arc, NASA, Parsec, Radio, Schwarzschild radius, Solar mass, Sun, The Astrophysical Journal, The New York Times, W. M. Keck Observatory, X-ray.

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, ua, or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Radio

Radio is the technology of using radio waves to carry information, such as sound, by systematically modulating properties of electromagnetic energy waves transmitted through space, such as their amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width.

Schwarzschild radius

The Schwarzschild radius (sometimes historically referred to as the gravitational radius) is a physical parameter that shows up in the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations, corresponding to the radius defining the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole.
