"Astronomen schleichen sich bis an den Rand des Schwarzen Lochs der Milchstraße"

Perfect german translation.

A decent translation, but maybe not quite idiomatic. Herantasten or annähern instead of schleichen feel more appropriate.

Oh so the word for "creep" they used in German is appropriate for the metaphorical meaning of "investigating/watching"? Does the most direct dictionary translation of "creep" happen to fit here?

If the translator figured out that this is a figurative meaning and intentionally picked a suitable translation, I'm very impressed!

"Astronomer krypa upp till kanten på Mjölkets svarta hål" (creep up to the edge of the milk's black hole) - Swedish

Needs more "bork"

“Gökbilimciler Samanyolu'nun Kara Deliğinin Kenarına Kadar Sürünüyor”

Turkish, and I’m amazed at its accuracy. Turkish has been phenomenally hard to translate from English. Google has done a great job there.

"Astronomen kruipen omhoog naar de rand van het zwarte gat van de melkweg" - Dutch

Close, but not quite.

"Astrónomos espiam o limite da Via Láctea"

Portuguese/Galician

Is this any good?
