Wow, imagine the fireworks if and when those two merge... 18 billion suns meets 100 million suns...

[cripplecreek]

Don’t want to be within a million light years when that one pulls a gamma ray burst.

[Obadiah]

Must...refrain...from...wisecrack...

[weegee]

Now we know where all of those carbon offset dollars are going...

[weegee]

18 billion suns meets 100 million suns...

That'll be some family reunion. Is there enough potato salad in the universe?

[wastedyears]

We’re finding out now.

Obama and Clinton

[HamiltonJay]

Why hasn’t the smaller been completely swallowed by the larger? The mass and therfore gravitational difference is insane... the orbit of the smaller should degrade quickly I would figure... yet it seems this pair has been doing this dance for quite a while...

I’m sorry . . . I thought this was about Hillary.

[bmwcyle]

And Bill and Hillary think they are so important.

[chrisser]

Hey! Isn’t one of those Michael Moore?

".....adding that the black holes are on track to merge within 10,000 years."

I'm not waiting up with the popcorn.....;-)

[SolidWood]

If they collide it would be Bush’s fault.

[G L Tirebiter]

18 Billion Suns = 18 GigaSuns? Is a standard Sun a unit of measure?

[garyhope]

I was trying to think of some sarcastic, witty and clever comment relating this to the size of Herself’s butt or thighs or O’Blama’s coming burnout, etc., but just couldn’t stretch it long enough.

The universe is one big mother.

OK, is this big black hole as dangerous to existance as all leftism and socialism?

I personally have decided that leftism is the most dangerous force in the universe. It destroys everything.

So there.

[Beckwith]

Is he running for office?

[dinoparty]

This black hole is a whole lot of nothing.

[hellbender]

I would have thought the biggest black hole in the universe was either Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, or Al Sharpton.

[Centurion2000]

Crickey a 12647 AU orbital axis and it makes an orbit in 12 years? Holy crap that sucker is moving is FAST. Must be close to 14,000 km/second in orbital velocity.

Biggest black hole in the cosmos discovered

[shbox]

Under those types of gravitational forces extremes, ten times all of mankind can be squeezed into the area of a microchip.

Under that amount of pressure, the Empire State Building would easily be squeezed to the size of a human skin cell.

The quasars are so dense, a single drop of the material would weigh 200million tons.

[JRios1968]

The quasar OJ287 contains two black holes (this slightly dated illustration lists the larger black hole's mass as 17 billion Suns, though researchers now estimate it is 18 billion Suns)

Whew!!!! Am I glad they corrected that!!!
