In the heart of our Milky Way, a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A. Asterisk, has four new companions. Astronomers have spotted strange new objects, dubbed G3 to G6, orbiting this black hole. There a bit of an enigma, appearing like clouds of gas and dust, but remaining compact like stars as they dance around the black hole. These newcomers share traits with two previous finds, G1 and G2. The theory, they could be binary stars in the throes of merging. This intriguing discovery was made by observing star movements near Sagittarius A. Asterisk, and studying gases using near infrared light. But the mystery persists. What are these curious G objects? Only further research will reveal their true nature. Did you know?
