This is the best summary I could come up with:

The star S0–6 appears to have traveled 50,000 light-years from a now-extinct galaxy to reach the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way

Astronomers may have discovered an extragalactic intruder among stars that orbit the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A* or Sgr A*.

Sgr A* is surrounded by a cavalcade of stars, the rapid orbits of which have helped astronomers determine that the black hole has a mass around 4.5 million times that of the sun.

This is because the intense gravity of Sgr A* should make the heart of the Milky Way an environment that is far too turbulent and violent to allow the formation of stars at all.

And new findings from an international team of scientists, led by Miyagi University of Education researcher Shogo Nishiyama, have revealed some of these stars may have had vastly longer journeys to Sgr A* than previously suggested.

This would have led to the star journeying tens of thousands of light-years to Sgr A*  —  ultimately spiraling around our galaxy’s black hole rather than taking a direct path to the center of the Milky Way.
