Looks like that black hole is getting nearer all the time...

Maybe Obama/Biden are here to prepare the way for the “Black Hole”...

1500 light years away. They left that out so I looked it up.

No, some anti’s observed the images and then theorized the Big Bang did not occur

"1500 light years away."

Well, that's too close! My homeowner's policy doesn't cover damage from a nearby black hole.

Time to start looking for a 3-bedroom house with an attached spaceport, on an Earthlike planet further away in the Milky Way suburbs.

Um, correct me if I am wrong, but the nearest black hole is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC, and has an orbit that goes to Rehoboth then to Wilmington, DE and back to DC.

In 1916, Karl Schwarzchild ...

Left out an "s". It's Schwarzschild. I would have expected a science website to get it right. At least they spelled the first name correctly.

"... implies the existence of a sizable population of dormant black holes in our galaxy."

Hmmm...
Kareem El-Badry seems to be shouting "Allahu Ackbar" to his funding sources...

One (1) find is hardly an implication of many more in our galaxy...
At least IMHO...

Otherwise, good work...

“1500 light years away. They left that out so I looked it up.”

Thank you.

Kind of annoying that a publication calling itself ‘Science Alert’ puts “Nearest” in the title, then makes no mention of “how near”, or any distance.

Dormant black holes? They are just out there sleeping?

Makes me think of the French song, "SMBH, dormez-vous?"

Or is it "Frere Jacques, dormez-vous?"
