Rapid star will test the theory of relativity

Astronomers have exposed a star that hits record speed, moving around the central black hole (BH) of our Milky Way galaxy at a speed of 5,000 kilometers per second and making a complete rotate in less than 12 years.

This discovery gives scientists a unique opportunity over the next decade to test the theory of relativity in extreme conditions.
