Black Hole Discovered in Milky Way

[Shy Guy]

This is not a joke.

 

"There is a giant black hole at the centre of our galaxy, a 16-year study by German astronomers has confirmed."

If you want to read more about it you could go here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7774287.stm

 

Its 27,000 light years from Earth.

Did somebody stub their cigarette in a milky way :(

And this is new news to you how???

 

Seriously, this has been known for a very long time. And we are still a very long way away from it. Plenty of generations to go yet before people start being pulled apart. Shame.

Actually the black hole kinda holds our galaxy together, as well as all other galaxies in the universe. Didn't u know that every galaxy, including ours, has one giant black hole right at its center? Without them we all will be lost, aimlessly wandering through the Space...:dontcare:

Er, what?

Ah, at first I thought this thread would be like "Water On Mars" :lol: But srsly, this is old, we all know it...well, I do.

[Who]

to be honest it's interesting, but i have little interest in it, no matter what the human race does it will not be able to stop the black hole. global warming is a concern cause things can and will be done, the LHC (shock horror, still hasn't blown us all up) is within our control too. astrophysics are a bit meh for me.

Er, what?

The black hole is the "gravity"-ish of the universe, think of it that way and it becomes easier to understand.

 

Just imagine life without gravity, your steak and mash you were gonna have for lunch would be halfway up to space right now! :D

[BobbyV]

Yeah, precisely! I love when ppl understand the basics of existing. :thumbsup:

[ShadowGT]

I like it when people understand the basics of steak & mash :D

[StrickenHAWK?]

what would a hole in the milky way do to us?

[TDU 505]

It'll suck us all into its centre. And what next? No one knows...

[Immelmann]

I love steak and mash!
