Galactic warming, no doubt.

Stay away from Black Holes with Hot Spots. You’ve been warned.
PS: Stay away from Uranus too.

Don’t want to know if there are hot spots around Uranus.

Hot spots tend to fade in popularity after a couple of months. I’ll wait.

Stay away from Black Holes with Hot Spots. That's no way to talk about the esteemed Representative-elect from New York.

A ‘normal’ black hole orbiting the Central BIG Black Hole, causes the flare?..................

Great to know that there is something that astronomers can get excited about.

Who knows?
That’s what they’re trying to figure out.
I’d say your guess is pretty good, knowing what little we know.
Image the heat, radiation, gravity and just plain density of the stars in the galactic center. It must be enormous!
I would think it could be a place where weird things happen...

"Dont want to know if there are hot spots around Uranus." Do you post astronomy articles simply as an excuse to stir up 5th-grade FRdumb@$$3ery about the seventh planet?
Joining in with this room-temperature IQ off-coloring reflects poorly upon you -- and on FR.

If the orbiting black hole(s) are DIRECTLY in your line of sight, they would produce a brightening, then a dimming, then a brightening again. And would do so in the period of revolution about the center of the galaxy’s Big Black Hole.
Slightly off-center, might produce the brightening only.
From this, the period and the mass could be determined for both the orbiting black hole and the Big Black Hole...............

On this Thanksgiving Day let us give thanks to those who toil endlessly and thanklessly (yes, there's a reason for that) providing Thread Police services. Volunteers in every sense of the word.
Without whom the phrase " We're better than that," would die of non-use.
Yes, 'thank' you doesn't quite cover it, but it will have to do.

Now I feel so ashamed of myself.
What was I thinking?
Poking fun at astronomers.
Shame on me! Shame! Shame!
From now on, I will only write positive things about astronomers here on the gentle pages of Free Republic.
I am positive those astronomers are a bunch of filthy peeping Toms.

I find the study and speculation about black holes to be fascinating - the Science channel often highlights them - there was a new show the other night and it’s neat, that unlike the climate “scientists”, they admit they are still only speculating and cannot be 100% sure they are even real...also having to spread into dark matter to explain what they presume to be the huge ones they think they are detecting....
