Scientists identifies new class of celestial objects near the galactic black hole

The video discusses Sagittarius A, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and its influence on six strange objects, G1 to G6, that orbit it. These objects have elongated orbits ranging from 100 to 1000 years. The black hole's gravity stretches these objects, stripping away their outer gas shells. Observations of G2 reveal that despite this stretching, it retains a coherent dust core, suggesting a stellar object inside. It is speculated that these G objects were once binary stars that merged due to the black hole's gravitational influence.

What is Sagittarius A?

• A galaxy

• A type of star

• A supermassive black hole

• A planet in the Milky Way

How long do the G objects take to orbit Sagittarius A?

• 1000 to 2000 years

• 2000 to 3000 years

• 100 to 1000 years

• 10 to 100 years

What happens to the G objects as they approach Sagittarius A?

• They become smaller

• They gain more mass

• They are stretched and lose their outer gas shells

• They change color

What do researchers believe is inside the G objects?

• A neutron star

• A coherent dust core with stellar objects

• A planet

• A black hole

What is the proposed origin of the G objects?

• They are fragments of a destroyed planet

• They were once binary stars that merged

• They are newly formed stars

• They are remnants of supernovae
