Did you know that there is a black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy called Sagittarius C?
This black hole is 400 million times bigger than the sun, well, the black hole has so much gravity that it pulls anything around it, but scientists are surprised to see a new object around this black hole. A kind of hot gas bubbles exist and are moving in an orbit but the black hole is not pulling it towards it.
Research has shown that its orbit around the black hole is as large as that of Mercury around the Sun, but Mercury completes one orbit around the Sun in 88 days, while this gas bubble completes the same orbit in just 70 minutes. That is, the speed at which it is rotating is 30% of the speed of light
Scientists believe that it is this speed that is preventing it from entering the black hole.
