The long‑term tracking of star S2 orbiting Sagittarius A* continues to be one of the most compelling confirmations of General Relativity. Over 27 years of observations show a clear Schwarzschild precession: the orbit doesn’t close but slowly rotates due to the intense curvature of spacetime near the supermassive black hole.
A beautiful example of how precision astronomy can test fundamental physics.
