A Big Bad Sucker is Out There


That's right folks, our suspicions have been confirmed. There is a giant killer lurking in the depths of space. A Black Hole. It has been widely theorized that in the center of most galaxies there are black holes. We have seen pictures of huge plumes emerging from either side of distant galaxies, a good indication of black holes. But what about our own galaxy, the Milky Way? By tracking the movement of stars close to the center, scientist saw that they were orbiting around a mass that wasn't emanating light. Whoo. So they continued on. And now, they have confirmed it, there is a killer in the middle of the galaxy waiting to emerge and start to feed again. What would it be like to live during a time when the black hole is feeding. No doubt, the plumes could be seen in the sky. Pretty freaky.
