  At the center of the Milky Way lurks a unique compact nonthermal radio
source, Sgr A*. It is thought to be powered by a 2.6 million solar mass black
hole that is accreting the stellar winds from the numerous early-type stars
that exist in the central parsec. However, until recent high resolution Chandra
observations, Sgr A* had never been unequivocably detected at wavelengths
shorter than the sub-millimeter. We present a spherical accretion model which
is consistent with both the flux and steep spectral shape of the X-ray emission
from Sgr A*.
