Physicist Andrea Ghez

Andrea Ghez is a distinguished physicist and astronomer renowned for her work on the center of our galaxy. Using powerful telescopes and innovative imaging techniques, she has observed stars orbiting an invisible, extremely dense object—most likely a black hole. Her research provided strong evidence for the existence of black holes and improved our understanding of their properties. In 2020, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for her discoveries about the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's core, contributing significantly to modern astrophysics and our knowledge of the universe’s most mysterious objects.
