Einstein's General Relativity Confirmed!

Black holes have always been an interesting subject of conversation among the space enthusiastic. And if you have been following this blog from the very beginning, you will know that I’ve already written four blogs just about black holes and researches related to black holes. So this is yet another blog about black holes because-there aren’t just enough! So this blog is about how the latest research on black hole proved Einstein’s general theory of relativity! For the first time, astronomers have confirmed Einstein’s century old theory by observing action near black hole.   Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, an international team of professional sky-gazers watched as a star swung by the super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and observed the effect the black hole’s extreme gravitational field had on the star’s motion.   By accurately tracing the position and speed of this single star, known as S2, astrono
