Some stars are missing from the centre of the universe. We do not know what has happened there.

.” Stars at any given distance from the supermassive black hole at the galactic centre, called Sagittarius A, should have a random distribution of shapes to their orbits, but one group of stars is mysteriously missing from that distreeeibution.”

Well, God who made the heavens knows what is happening there.
