I love it when someone comes out and says, “We don’t know everything about what’s happening out in space”.

In real life, there is no such thing as a black hole, much less a “star-eating black hole(TM)”. This is almost certainly yet another artifact of mistakenly interpreting redshift as distance.

It would be nice if they included in which constellation this event happened. Then us naked-eye observers could cast our glace in the general direction of the event.

Too far away for us to really worry about.

Betelgeuse on the other hand is only some 600 light years away, and by the time we see the first flash from it going Supernova it could well be too late to worry about.

The pisser is that it could have gone supernova 600 years ago, and the first flash could be here any second.....

One reason for the extreme brightness could be that the jet of particles shooting out of the black hole is pointing straight at Earth.

Oh, that sounds groovy, wonder what’s comes next?

Wow! That’s one nasty looking blast.

Glad that thing wasn’t anywhere near here when it went up.
