Astronomers find twin stars moving around the big black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Scientists found two stars near the big black hole in our galaxy, the Milky Way. This black hole is called Sagittarius A and it's very big and powerful.

Stars can be near black holes, but it's rare to see two stars so close. This discovery was published in a science journal.

An astrophysicist named Anna Ciurlo thinks this is interesting but needs more study. She says there are still questions about what they are.

The two stars are young and orbit each other at a perfect distance. If they were closer, the black hole would pull them apart.

The stars won't stay like this forever and might combine into one. Scientists feel lucky to have seen them at this time.
