The black hole from the center of the Milky Way galaxy has a discovery that researchers did not think they would make so soon, and it is something that has generated quite a lot of amazement among scientists. More precisely, the researchers discovered that this black star, called Sagittarius A, has in its orbit a star that moves at speeds of up to 24.000 kilometers per second, astonishingly high, even higher than those of asteroids.
The black hole it has a star in its orbit that moves at a speed that reaches 8% of the speed of light, and no one has an explanation for what is happening. Researchers have discovered numerous stars orbiting the black hole at the center of the galaxy, many of them with unusual trajectories, but this one is the fastest of all, and has generated a lot of discussion about the galaxy.
Black Hole: The Researchers AMAZING, Unbelievable Premiere
The black hole it is so big that the star, even at this impressive speed, manages to complete an orbit in 7.6 years, and this is the shortest of its trajectories. It is also the star that completes its orbit the fastest around the space occupied by this black hole, and this is perfectly normal since it also reaches dizzying speeds during the trips it makes through our galaxy now.
“S4714, it's even more extreme. It doesn't come quite as close to Sgr A * as S4711, but it travels around the black hole at 8% the speed of light. At this speed, the star is moving about 15.000 miles (~24.000 kilometers) every second.”
The black hole it is orbited by another star that is just a bit slower, making an orbit in 9.9 years, so it also travels at over 10.000 kilometers per second through the galaxy. These are just two of the stars that exist in that region of the galaxy, and that orbit the black hole, researchers discovering more over time, and continue to study them very carefully because many more discoveries can still be made about what what is hidden there
The black hole it has not yet swallowed any of these stars, but anything is possible at any time, especially since we are talking about unusual trajectories for these stars.
