Pulsar Found Near the Center of the Milky Way Could Test Einstein’s Theories
SMRTR summary
Researchers from Columbia University discovered an 8.19-millisecond pulsar near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center, during a highly sensitive survey of the galactic core. This extremely regular cosmic timekeeper could allow scientists to test Einstein's general theory of relativity by measuring how the black hole's immense gravity affects the pulsar's radiation pulses.
