Scientists found two stars near a big black hole in our galaxy. This black hole is at the center of the Milky Way and is very big.

The stars are very young and seem to orbit each other perfectly. If they were closer, the black hole would pull them apart.

This discovery was published in a science journal. More research is needed to understand these stars and the black hole.
