The world in photos: Aug 7 - Aug 13
This handout artist's impression released on Aug 7, 2017 by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) shows the orbits of three of the stars very close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Analysis of data from ESO's Very Large Telescope and other telescopes suggests that the orbits of these stars show the subtle effects predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
