Star Orbiting Supermassive Black Hole Proved Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity has again been in the news as astronomers have observed the behavior of a star in line with the theory. During their observation researchers observed the star trace a rosette-shaped orbit around the black hole. Their research proved that Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity was not right in this case as he proposed that the orbit of a star would be elliptical. It was Einstein who had foretold the path accurately. This breakthrough was made achievable by the mysteries of the behemoth lurking increasingly precise measurements over nearly 30 years, which have enabled scientists to unlock at the heart of our galaxy.
