Binary Star System D9 Found Orbiting Sagittarius A* Near Milky Way’s Core

Astronomers have detected a young binary star system, D9, orbiting Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's centre. This challenges previous assumptions about star survival near intense gravitational forces. The discovery was made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. Future research with advanced telescopes could unlock...
