Trajectories of stars orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way


The Milky Way Galaxy black hole is the closest example of the supermassive black holes, located only ~25,000 light years away from us. Its mass is estimated to be 4 million times the mass of the sun, which implies that the schwarzschild radius is about 17 times that of Sun's radius.
