"Possible Extraterrestrial Presence Detected in Orbit around Milky Way's Black Hole"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have potentially discovered an extragalactic star, named S0–6, among the stars orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. The star's chemical composition suggests it originated in a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way that was cannibalized billions of years ago. If confirmed, this would make S0–6 the first extragalactic star found near Sgr A*. Further investigation is needed to unravel the mysteries of these stars near the supermassive black hole.
