Armed with the combination of the Keck's power and the detector's sensitivity, Ghez has been able to measure the motions of stars that lie 100 times as close to the core as the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, lies to the sun, and he finds that they're whipping around the galactic center at 1,600 miles per second, nearly 100 times as fast as Earth orbits the sun.
