Six of these objects have already been identified by researchers. They were all found in the direct vicinity of the center of our Milky Way – orbiting the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. This point of commonality probably also contributes to their strange behavior. G1 to G6 have orbits that lead them around the black hole once every…
