A compact radio source at the galactic center has been detected at 3.7 cm on a very long baseline interferometer composed of the Goldstone 64-m and the Owens Valley 40-m telescopes (separation 252 km). The source has an angular size, theta/subs/, on the order of or less than 0./sub /''02, corresponding to a linear size approximately-less-than200 AU or 10$sup -3$ pc, at the distance of the galactic center (10 kpc). The measured flux density is 0.6+-0.1 Jy. The brightness temperature of the source is 3x10$sup 7$ K if theta/subs/approx. =0./ sub /''02. Comparison with previous high-resolution observations of the galactic center suggests time variation in the flux density. The nature of the compact radio source is discussed. (AIP)
