First Binary Star Found Near Milky Way Galaxy's Black Hole | ESO

First Binary Star Found Near Milky Way Galaxy's Black Hole | ESO

Two stars have been found orbiting each other in the vicinity of Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. A young binary star system forming and surviving in this extreme gravity means that black holes are not as destructive as we thought. This video summarizes the discovery.
