AMMAN — The
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) said that Jordanian
Nadeen Sabha along with her team at the physics and astronomy departments of
Innsburck University in Austria, are verifying a theory that was recently
announced through the James Webb Space Telescope, according to a local media
outlet.

The theory states that previous observations
have shown subdued infrared sources near a very large black hole in the
brightly lit Sagittarius A region located at the center of the
Milky Way galaxy.
“We will direct the telescope to the center
of our galaxy in August and September where, by using this new and highly
sensitive telescope, we will be able to detect these newly born stars with
relatively low masses,” according to Sabha.
“If the team can prove that these sources of
light are indeed stars, it means that planets can also form near black holes in
the center of galaxies,” she added.
Sabha studied applied physics at the Jordan University of
Science and Technology and earned her master’s degree in experimental physics
from the
University of Cologne in Germany in 2010. She later earned a doctorate
in 2014 and has conducted research and studies specialized in astronomy,
especially star formations.
