Interstellar Star Completes Epic Journey to Black Hole

A star named S0-6, believed to be from outside the Milky Way, has been discovered near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. This interloper star has a chemical composition that matches small satellite galaxies rather than the Milky Way itself, suggesting it has been traveling for a very long time. It is the first star from outside the galaxy to be found near Sagittarius A*, and its discovery raises questions about its origins and whether it has any companions. The study aims to unravel the mysteries of stars near supermassive black holes.
