Sagittarius A* is orbited by high-velocity stars and dusty objects, which are known collectively as the S-cluster. Binary star systems (two stars gravitationally bound to one another around a common center of gravity) have been predicted Nature Communications Nature Portfolio

@NaturePortfolio to exist within the S-cluster, however they have not previously been detected. Previous research has suggested that such stars are unlikely to be stable due to the interactions between the stars and Sagittarius A*.

@NaturePortfolio Florian Peißker and colleagues detected a binary star system close to the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way. The system, called D9, consisting of the binary star components D9a and D9b, is relatively young, with a predicted age of approx. 2.7 million years.

@NaturePortfolio The findings provide new insights about the dynamics and evolution of stars in the vicinity of our Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. Read the @NatureComms paper open access here: @NaturePortfolio

This is the globular cluster Omega Centauri, which is composed of 10 million gravitationally bound stars. Models have long suggested that it should also contain about 10,000 stellar-mass black holes. Finally, the first one has been found! 1/2

It is already known that the configuration of our Solar System, a single star with planets around it, is something that is not really a standard in our Galaxy. A lot of Systems have two Stars, for example, a binary system, and there are even weirder ones with many stars. In Comparison, our System seems boring. 🥱 📹 morn1415

Galaxies are not isolated islands. When two galaxies pass close to one another, gravity can pull stars, gas, and even dark matter away from one galaxy and into another. One famous example involves the Milky Way slowly stripping stars from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy. Vast streams of stolen stars now wrap around our galaxy like cosmic fingerprints of an ancient encounter, Astronomers have observed many such galactic thefts throughout the universe, revealing that galaxies grow not only by forming stars-but also by stealing them.

REBEL PLANET DEFIES SPACE RULES WITH WILD POLAR ORBIT Astronomers have discovered a planet that is breaking all the normal space rules. Named 2M1510 b, this planet ignores the usual neat and flat orbit that most planets stick to and instead takes a crazy ride over the poles of its 2 stars, looping around at a sharp 90-degree angle. In our solar system, planets calmly glide in flat paths around their stars. But 2M1510 b decided that was boring. It was found using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, not by being seen directly but by measuring how it tugs on its 2 brown dwarf stars. Brown dwarfs are odd objects, too big to be planets but too small to glow like stars. These 2 brown dwarfs circle each other every 21 days while a third one drifts far away. To find 2M1510 b, scientists used a clever trick called “radial velocity,” watching for tiny wobbles in the stars’ light. The wobbles were like the stars saying, “Something is pulling on us out here.” Out of the more than 5,800 known planets around other stars, only 16 orbit two stars. None of them are known to spin over the poles like this. It is as if 2M1510 b looked at the galaxy’s playbook and decided to write its own chapter. Source: SciTech Daily

A pressurized atmosphere cannot exist next to a vacuum without a physical barrier separating them. Space is fake. The stars & planets you see in the sky are light frequencies inside the firmament, which have been rotating in perfect circles around the North Star for all of time.

Einstein's Theory Confirmed: Star's Orbit Around Milky Way's Black Hole Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have, for the first time, observed a star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way in a manner precisely predicted by Einstein's **general theory of relativity**. Instead of following a closed elliptical orbit, as described by **Newtonian gravity**, the star traces a path shaped like a **rosette**. This phenomenon, known as **Schwarzschild precession**, had never been measured before for a star near a supermassive black hole. A visual representation exaggerates the effect to help demonstrate this relativistic behavior. **What is Schwarzschild Precession?** This is a relativistic effect in which the orbit of an object in the gravitational field of another does not close upon itself, unlike the neat ellipses of Newtonian predictions. Instead, the orbit shifts or "precesses" within its plane, advancing in the direction of motion. This observation adds further evidence supporting Einstein’s groundbreaking theories and offers new insights into the behavior of stars in extreme gravitational environments.

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

God [⊙] is the trinary fulcrum upon which the Swastika binary [卐卍] waves as a yin-yang see-saw [☯]. Reality is triquetra [卐⊙卍], chiral [卐卍], and fluidly dynamic [☯]. Electro-Magnetism does this horrific thing called Orthogonality. It crosses the dielectric with the magnetic at 90 degrees, which produces electricity. Nature doesn't cross itself with 90 degree angles. There doesn't seem to be any orthogonality in Nature, only layers and layers of swastika, yin-yang, chiralities. To see 2D flattened geometries as 3D inflated objects of 4D emote-motion principles reveals Electro-Magnetism to be incredibly un-Nature-al [not-nature-God]. Remembering the Centripetal physics of the Ancients is GO!

ELON MUSK ON OUR COSMIC ORIGINS: THE QUESTION THAT REFRAMES EXISTENCE “I've thought about like, how did we get here? If we just sort out as a hydrogen gas cloud that sort of condensed and then formed stars and then these stars exploded and then they recondensed, formed stars again and then exploded again. And then eventually you get to us 13.8 billion years later. One of the interesting questions to think about is how many times have your atoms been at the center of a star?”

According to the WEF's Lindsay Hooper, protecting ecosystems requires putting a price tag on nature, rather than treating it as a limitless and free resource. "We can't do business on a dead planet. If we're going to protect natural systems, one of the solutions is to bring nature onto the balance sheet."
