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, 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, 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 ...

(Peissker et al., ApJ, 2022) Researchers discovered this star, named S4716, thanks to the evolution of observation and analysis techniques. It was clearly seen in data from five different ...

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 ...

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 ...

The short-period, compact orbit of S4716 is quite puzzling,' Michael Zajacek, an astrophysicist at Masaryk University in Brno who was involved in the study, said. 'Stars cannot form so easily near ...

The star, S4716, orbits Sagittarius A*, the ... Using the first science image released by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) this month, an international team of scientists with significant ...

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, S4716, orbits Sagittarius A*, the ... In a bold vision to secure Europe's role in space exploration and so benefit from the many scientific, economic, and societal rewards, ESA is ...
