I'm not referring to the article referenced. It has been on TV and in news articles here in the US. They are not being clear that it is occurring during the US daytime.
Figure 3 is showing the residual velocity, not the total velocity of the star. They have to subtract the red or blue shift caused by the star moving toward or away from us before they measure the red shift due to the light climbing out of the gravity well.
Not long ago, it was impossible to see stars at this distance. Now adaptive optics have improved the resolution so much that they are able to track stars at the center of the galaxy. This is through all the intervening dust and closer stars obstructing the view. I have trouble getting a good image of Saturn due to atmospheric turbulence, and these guys are imaging the center of the galaxy. Well done.

It's all over the news, but people don't realize it is not visible from the US. I wish the news agencies would make that clear.

Yes, but that's not important right now. And please, stop calling me Shirley.

Yes, yes he will.
Fear that it is being abused? Hasn't it been uncovered already?
To make it easier to "share" information.
And now we have the proof.
Won't somebody please think of the children!
Ok, but you have to provide your own deceleration. We can only afford the acceleration.
even for a computer.
As long as you have the lights on, they won't come out.
A real win-win for the airline.
I guess I can throw out my Blockbuster card now. I was saving it for my trip to Alaska.
Use special interest funds to buy weapons, mobilize the rank and file and invade the Crimean.

Aren't x-rays x-ray colored?
Sorry to disappoint, the East Germans were never this good.
Since malls are dying, I guess the problem will eventually solve itself. Thanks Amazon.
Right. Share everything with the Russians first.

It used to be required. Appliances came with bare wires, and you had to install the plug yourself.
