Successful Test General Relativity Near Supermassive Black Hole

Observations made with ESO’s Very Large Telescope have for the first time revealed the effects predicted by Einstein’s general relativity on the motion of a star passing through the extreme gravitational field near the supermassive black hole in the centr

This long-sought result represents the climax of a 26-year-long observation campaign using ESO’s telescopes in Chile.
