We present the first results of a 50-ks Chandra imaging observation centered on the position of Sgr A*, the compact nonthermal radio source that is believed to be powered by matter accreting onto a 2.6 million solar-mass black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. We discuss the results of the search for an X-ray counterpart to the Sgr A* radio source. We also discuss the spatial distribution and physical properties of diffuse emission and numerous unidentified sources detected in the field of view.
