Around the [22:55 minute mark](https://youtu.be/u6_wBEdQFf4?t=1350), [Dr. Andrea M. Ghez](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_M._Ghez) is explaining some of her work and her research related to [Sag A Star - Represented by an Asterisk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_M._Ghez#Black_hole_at_the_Galactic_Center_(Sgr_A*))

What piqued my interest around the 22:55 minute. On the visualization being displayed, there appears to be stuff going around and whatever is happening in the very center of Dr. Andrea's screen.
- There is some phenomenon that has layers of purple, blue, green and a core of red. It has an elliptical orbit that is showcased in yellow. See screenshot [here](https://github.com/stellardreams/stellardreams.github.io/blob/master/assets/images/12-13-2024-BBC-Five-Hours-Nested-Blackholes.PNG?raw=true) This screenshot has been taken directly from the source video that has been linked above.

- The orbit of this phenomenon reminds me of [Sedna's orbital eccentricity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedna_(dwarf_planet)#Orbit_and_rotation) around the solar system. Which I have blogged about here on Github [link](https://stellardreams.github.io/Sedna's-orbital-eccentricity/). And yes, these are different systems. As in, something going around, what looks to be like Sag A * (A Supermassive Blackhole) vs a rock like [Sedna](https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~kenyon/pf/sedna/vid1.html) going around the Sun.
- The other thing I noticed was that the stuff/object circling the Blackhole was moving in it's orbit, what seemed to be like varying speeds. So I started thinking. That either a. There is more mass around the areas where the object slows down. Or b. There are other/nested blackholes situated in these regions. Which would not only explains the orbital eccentricity of the object in motion. But the varying speeds around particular points.
