The compact source SgrA* that can be associated with the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way shown a strong variability from the radio to the X-ray wavelength domain. Here report on the latest simultaneous NIR/ sub-millimeter/X-ray observations using the NACO adaptive optics (AO) instrument at the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. In the X-ray and radio domain we used the ACIS-I instrument aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Submillimeter Array on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, as well as the Very Large Array in New Mexico, respectively. We also summarize the most recent results from a VLT NACO observations of polarized NIR flare emission of SgrA*. We interpret the results using a model in which spots are on relativistic orbits around SgrA* and discus the possibility of a jet or outflow from such a disk.
