That’s the shortest orbit ever observed around a supermassive black hole. The newly discovered star, called S4716, is about four times more massive than our Sun and twice as hot. It survives ...

The star, called S4716, is part of a cluster of massive stars only discovered relatively recently centered on the black hole in the Milky Way’s heart. Over time, as these stars move in their ...

Researchers have discovered the fastest star in the known universe. The star, called S4716, orbits the Sagittarius A black hole in the centre of our Milky Way, located at a distance of 100 AU ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne and Masaryk University in Brno (Czech Republic) have clocked a star, labeled S4716, orbiting Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our Milky Way ...

The star, designated S4716, completes an orbit around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) in just around four years. This means that the star is traveling at blisteringly fast ...

The star - called S4716 - orbits close to the Sagittarius A black hole at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Researchers have found that the star orbits the black hole, which measures 23.5 ...
