What it shows: Fastest star in Milky Way orbits black hole at record speed.
The scene as painted: A lone astronomer stands at the edge of a vast, dark observatory, gazing up at a massive telescope, its dome open to a star-filled night sky, with a faint, blurred streak of light crossing the sky, symbolizing the star S301's incredible speed, as a subtle, glowing accretion disk surrounds a black hole in the distance.
