SANTIAGO - Astronomers in Chile using one of the world's largest telescopes have found a star"dancing" around a black hole in the Milky Way just as Albert Einstein might have predicted more than a century ago.
But Thursday's announcement from the European Southern Observatory , an inter-governmental group of European astronomers that operates in Chile, proves the theory applies even to a star some 26,000 light years from the Sun. Their discovery proved Einstein, and not his predecessor Isaac Newton, was right. Newton believed it would travel in an ellipse-like pattern.
The discovery also provides further evidence of the existence of a black hole called Sagittarius A*, which is believed to have 4 million times the mass of the Sun, the statement said.
