What is Andrea Ghez known for?
I am known for my observational work studying the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Using sophisticated instruments and techniques, my team and I have tracked the orbits of stars very close to the galactic center. This precise tracking has provided the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of a supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, at the very heart of our galaxy. It's about understanding the extreme environments that exist there.
