Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, or rather the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. We know it’s there, and it clearly influences the behavior of the objects around it. Now, scientists think it may also be triggering the creation of weird structures that look like clouds of dust but act like stars.

That’s according to unpublished research presented at the annual conference of the American Astronomical Society this week. The team behind it believes they have found three additions to a class of strange space things known as G-objects, of which two had previously been identified. They also have an idea of how the oddballs might have formed.
