Find the nearest star to the central black hole in the galaxy

An international team of researchers, with Spanish contribution, has found the closest star to Sagittarius A *, the black hole four million times the mass of the Sun located in the center of the Milky Way. It is the star S0-102; it takes 11.5 years to complete one orbit around the black hole. The work will know how to operate the law of gravity in extreme environments, according to the journal Science.
