🚨: Einstein proved right again. ESO's Very Large Telescope just measured a star called S2 orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy and its path traces a rosette shape exactly as general relativity predicted. Never measured around a black hole before.

This isn't just an animation-it's the actual orbital path of Star S2 around the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. For 27 years, astronomers tracked S2 as it danced around a 4.1-million-solar-mass "invisible" object. The mind-blowing part? Look closely at the orbit. It doesn't trace a perfect, closed loop. Instead, the orbit itself rotates over time, creating a flower-like pattern. This is called Schwarzschild Precession. According to Newton, gravity should keep the orbit in a fixed ellipse. But Einstein's General Relativity predicted that in extreme gravity, space-time is so warped that the orbit must space-time is so warped that the orbit must shift. In 2020, the VLT (Very Large Telescope) finally confirmed this shift, proving Einstein's theory holds up even at the edge of a black hole!

If a neutron star or small black hole wanders too close to a supermassive black hole, it can be set into a bizarre (and fun-looking) dance that traces a complex pattern around the black hole. #MondayMotivation

We are flying toward the center of the galaxy. This animation is composed of observations from various telescopes. It begins with a 360-degree panorama of the Milky Way and concludes at the very center of the galaxy, where years of observations from the VLT telescope reveal the motion of the S-stars. They are moving at tremendous speeds along orbits around an invisible object—the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.0

A Black Hole Can Be Dragged Through Spacetime A Black Hole does not have to sit still. Einstein’s equations allow a stranger possibility... a Black Hole that accelerates. This is the C-metric, an exact solution of General Relativity describing an accelerating Black Hole. The Black Hole accelerates because the geometry of Spacetime says it must. The C-metric is one of those exact solutions that reminds us how wild General Relativity really is. Gravity is not just attraction, and Spacetime is not just a stage. Sometimes the stage itself contains the force. #Astrophysics #GeneralRelativity #Einstein #CMetric #BlackHole #CosmicStrings #Spacetime #Cosmology #Mathematics #Physics

The fastest star in the Galaxy is S4714, which accelerates to approximately 24,000 km/s at its peak, or about 8% the speed of light. It orbits the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of our Milky Way, moving in an extremely eccentric orbit. At its closest approach, it comes to a distance of approximately 1.8 billion km from the black hole—comparable to the distance from the Sun to Saturn. From this distance, the angular size of the "shadow" of Sagittarius A* is four times larger than the angular size of the Sun in Earth's sky! Observations of S4714, conducted with the European Southern Observatory, are helping to test the effects of general relativity in the extreme gravity of the Galactic center.

Black Hole Can Ring Like a Bell A Black Hole can vibrate after it is disturbed. Instead of settling instantly, its horizon releases gravitational waves in fading tones called quasinormal modes. This is commonly known as Ringdown. Each tone carries information about the black hole’s final mass and spin, which is why physicists call this Black-Hole Spectroscopy. In a way, when Spacetime strikes a Black Hole, the Black Hole answers with its own gravitational sound. #BlackHole #GeneralRelativity #GravitationalWaves #Spacetime #Einstein #Astrophysics #Physics #Mathematics #Cosmology

EARTH ISN’T ORBITING - IT’S RIDING A FLAMING STAR THROUGH THE GALAXY The Earth doesn’t sit still, quietly circling the Sun; it's actively dragging us in a giant orbit around the center of the Milky Way. We're all flying through the galaxy at 514,000 mph, headed toward the constellation Hercules. So yeah, your peaceful little sunrise? That’s happening on a rock clinging to a flaming star as it slings us through the galaxy. And somehow, it still manages to feel like home. Source: Black Hole

As some of you correctly pointed out, the claim that TON 618 is the largest object in the Universe is now outdated. Recent discoveries have identified Phoenix A, a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of around 100 billion suns—or possibly even more, as its exact mass has not yet been measured using orbital methods. Phoenix A resides at the center of the Phoenix Cluster of galaxies and boasts some truly mind-boggling features: - Mass: 24,100 times greater than Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. - Scale: Twice the mass of the entire Triangulum Galaxy, including its dark matter halo. - Event Horizon: A Schwarzschild diameter of 590.5 billion kilometers (3,900 AU), roughly 100 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto. - Circumference: Traveling around its event horizon at the speed of light would take 71 days and 14 hours. - Growth: Gains about 60 times the mass of the Sun every year. Given its immense size, Phoenix A might belong to a proposed class of stupendously large black holes —primordial black holes with masses potentially exceeding 100 billion solar masses. Such objects push the boundaries of what we understand about the formation and evolution of black holes, far surpassing the theoretical mass limits of luminous, accreting black holes in spiral galaxies.
