As reported by Ukrinform, The Independent reports this.

The star, named S4716, orbits the Sagittarius A* black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, equidistant from the Earth to the Sun.

The star is in the S-cluster, which contains over 100 known stars with certain velocity of movement.

After observing S4716 for nearly 20 years, scientists determined that the 23.5-million-kilometer-wide supermassive black hole orbited at 8,000 kilometers per second in just four years.

“Stars cannot form so easily near a black hole. Michael Zajacek, an astrophysicist at Masaryk University in Brno who participated in the study, said that S4716 must move inward, for example, approaching other stars and objects in the S-cluster, which means its orbit is important. He said it caused a significant shrinkage.

In total, five telescopes were required to observe the star, and four of these five telescopes were combined into one large telescope to provide more precise and detailed observations.

As Ukrinform reports, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed the lumpy spiral galaxy CGCG 396-2 in the constellation Orion.
