Extragalactic Star Discovered Orbiting Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole

The star, S0-6, believed to be over 10 billion years old, may have originated from a small galaxy cannibalized by the Milky Way.

Astronomers have discovered an extragalactic star, S0-6, orbiting the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*.
The star S0-6 is estimated to be over 10 billion years old and could have originated 50,000 light-years away from its current location.
S0-6's chemical composition resembles stars found in small satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, such as the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.
The team theorizes that S0-6 was born in a small Milky Way satellite galaxy that our galaxy cannibalized at some point in the last 10 billion years.
This discovery raises many questions about the existence of this star and the story of all the other stars living on the edge of a supermassive black hole.
