Black Hole Survivors! Unmasking the Stable Orbits Near the Milky Way's Core
New astronomical data from the VLT's ERIS instrument is rewriting the fate of celestial objects near the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. Scientists tracked unusual entities, including the controversial G2 object and the D9 binary star system, expecting their destruction by the black hole’s immense gravity.
The surprise? The objects are following surprisingly stable and resilient orbits. This evidence directly challenges prior theories of catastrophic destruction (or "spaghettification") in the galactic core. The results imply that the region near Sagittarius A* is far less destructive than previously thought, hinting at a more complex environment that might even facilitate star formation.
