These celestial objects survive the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way

Astronomers using Chile's Very Large Telescope discovered that celestial objects near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole are surviving unexpectedly well in what appears to be a surprisingly calm environment. Gas clouds, binary star systems, and other structures are maintaining stable orbits and trajectories around the 4-million-solar-mass black hole, contradicting previous predictions of their destruction.
