Can we detect an accretion disk around the Milky Way's supermassive black hole in the core of the Milky Way?
We could detect an accretion disc around the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole but there isn't one now.
The central supermassive black hole of the Milky Way has eaten away most of the material in its vicinity; if there was an accretion disc around it, it would emit massive amounts of radiation.
Nonetheless, material clouds have been seen in close proximity to the black hole; if any of these clouds were to approach sufficiently to form an accretion disc that plunges into the black hole, friction and gravitational tidal forces would cause an enormous amount of energy to be released.

Indeed, using a variety of methods, such as infrared and radio observations, astronomers have found evidence of an accretion disk surrounding the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. These observations offer important new information about the characteristics and dynamics of the black hole and its surroundings.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
