New Discovery!! The shortest orbital period around our blackhole Sagittarius A* discovered

The fastest known star, found by researchers at the University of Cologne and Masaryk University in Brno, orbits around a black hole in record time. S4716 circles Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the heart of our Milky Way, in four years at a speed of around 8,000 kilometres per second.S4716 is just 100 astronomical units away from the black hole, which is a short distance by astronomical standards. One astronomical unit is 149,597,870 kilometres.
A tightly packed cluster of stars exists around the black hole at the heart of our galaxy. This cluster, known as the S cluster, is home to several hundred stars of varying brightness and mass. S stars move really quickly. "One prominent member, S2, behaves like a large person sitting in front of you in a movie theater: it blocks your view of what's important," said Dr Florian Peissker, lead author of the new study. "The view into the centre of our galaxy is therefore often obscured by S2. However, in brief moments, we can observe the surroundings of the central black hole.
Scientists have finally found, without a doubt, a star that goes around the centre of a supermassive black hole in just four years using continually developing methods of research and observations spanning nearly twenty years. The star was viewed by five telescopes, four of which were merged into one huge telescope to enable even more precise and comprehensive studies. "For a star to be in a stable orbit so close and fast in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole was completely unexpected and marked the limit that can be observed with traditional telescopes," said Peissker.
Furthermore, the discovery gives fresh information on the origin and evolution of the fast-moving stars in the Milky Way's core. "The short-period, compact orbit of S4716 is quite puzzling," Michael Zajaček, an astrophysicist at Masaryk University in Brno who was involved in the study, said. "Stars cannot form so easily near the black hole. S4716 had to move inwards, for example by approaching other stars and objects in the S cluster, which caused its orbit to shrink significantly."

Beautiful!

S cluster which hosts several hundred star moves fairly fast _ that’s the enormous angular energy hurled by the black hole.

Crazy How they can use the data they gathered to come up with this 😳never in my life I would think we have this In our Galaxy The heart of the Milky Way is truly chaotic.

We will all end up in a black hole. :o)

And then reappear from one in a different form, again and again and again...

@@darkmadder9897 That's true !!!! Antoine Lavoisier (French chemist from the 18th century) kept saying that "nothing is created, nothing disappear, everything get transformed".

1400 years Holly Book AL Quran Surah At-Tariq (Arabic text: الطارق) is the 86th chapter of the Qur’an. The surah titled in English means “The Night-comer” or “The Night Star” and it consists of 17 verses... In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. By the sky and the night comer - And what can make you know what is the night comer ? It is the piercing star - There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. So let man observe from what he was created.He was created from a fluid, ejected,Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.The Day when secrets will be put on trial, Then man will have no power or any helper. By the sky which returns [rain] And [by] the earth which cracks open, Indeed, the Qur’an is a decisive statement, And it is not amusement. Indeed, they are planning a plan, But I am planning a plan. So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
