Thanks for sharing @Kevin_Tee , it’s amazing to witness such news.
And how interesting is that i was working on a procedural Milky Way material last week :upside_down_face:

And they uploaded a great video after the live announcement:

“Observations made with ESO’s Very Large Telescope have for the first time revealed the effects predicted by Einstein’s general relativity on the motion of a star passing through the extreme gravitational field near the supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way.”
