In July 2018, Reinhard Genzel et al reported that S2 orbiting Sgr A had been recorded at 7,650 km/s or 2.55% the speed of light leading up to the pericentre approach in May 2018 at about 120 AU ≈ 1400 Schwarzschild radii from Sgr A. This allowed them to assert from the discernible redshift at relativistic velocities that General Relativity was confirmed.
