Scientists have discovered the fastest star in the Milky Way racing around a supermassive black hole, and PR is already Daniel with details. Researchers used infrared light to peer into the heart of the Milky Way. They noticed a faint star moving quickly. It's orbit and elongated ellipse.
The black hole at the center of our galaxy squads at one end of that oval. Stefan Gillison is an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. The star comes in in one direction, getting fast and fast and fast and fast and then gets a very sharp turn around the black hole.
That's when it's at its highest speed, over 15,000 miles per second.
The star can be used to visualize how gravity acts on space and time, and perhaps reveal how our local black hole formed and helped shape the evolution of our galaxy, our e-dannual and PR news. It's NPR. This is Terry Gross.
