    Sixteen years of observations of stars around the galactic centre are assembled in this video. The real motion of the stars has been accelerated by a factor 32 million. The individual images have been shifted and stretched to the same scale and orientation (Courtesy of ESO/R Genzel and S Gillessen)

    OmG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THERE IS A SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE IN THE CENTER OF OUR MILKY WAY GALAXY BUT IT IS HELPING US HOLDING THE STARS I THING THAT BLACK HOLE IS A GOOD BOY BUT OMG IT IS STILL YOUNG OMG

    There is a force "infinitely" more powerful than the puny gravity, anyone know what it is? It is demonstrated on the sun all the time... Gravity really has not much of a say compared to it. It makes the mathematical construct of "black holes" unecessary and silly.. and a lot of other stuff too.

    @photon101203 it slingshotted around it, like Apollo 13 did with the moon.....entered partial orbit and got flung out

    The mass of the black hole caused it to go so fast that it could escape.

    The stars are orbiting the black hole isn't? Imagine the velocity them!!

    WOW !! And i don't knew that we could see something like it! Great!

    Good call...but since the event horizon exists wouldnt that mean that the stars moving behind or into the black hole not have been about to see?

    Wtf...How Did That Star Get Away? i Tough that The Supermasive Black Hole Had A Incredible Mass And Shit ..And Some Star Just Went ... ooooooooooooo00000000000 SHit!!!! And Again oooooooo00000SHit And Again....What The Fuck?

    Do you think I would be ok if I just turned off all the lights in my house ?

    Wish I'd read that before looking at this vid. Now I'm doomed to spiral in to it coz I've seen it. Remember people, always check e bay before looking at things. ;-)

    Event Horizon...... Einstein proved that if we are actually able to witness a black hole.... The light between it and us will be sucked in and we will also be sucked in as we are in the same space/time as that light......so, dont ever look directly at a black hole without special viewing lenses. You can get em on E-Bay for 3 easy payments of 4,638,000$ each. With each purchase you get an instructional video and some nice raisin cookies from WW2. Enjoy!! :D

    the supermassive blackhole at the center of the galaxy im guessing?

    Might've been easier to just take charts and render this or make it in after-effects. It doesn't seem like a fluid transition between each still. Excellent idea, nonetheless. 5 stars. TPJ

    What the heck is this little scab on by balls? Hmmmmm? Better get it checked out!

    What presumed to be the source of what appears to be gravitational lensing in the center of the image?

    Oh how cute no black hole? just stars acting just like plasma which they are. What a surprise! But I am sure there is some type of a magical physical construct of mathematics (like dark mater or extra dimensions) that explains this ignoring the simple explanation of electric cosmology. When CERN comes up empty handed the only place to turn will be electric cosmology.

    the stars you see are not trapped by the black holes, mearly slingshotting around them... light can escape a black holes gravity right up until it is acctually on the event horizon. this is the definition of the event horizon... the black holes gravitational effect extends well beyond the event horizon
