Guzzle.Guzzle. Burrrrp!!!

Seriously, This is neat science.

I hate it when that happens.

Old news. It happened four billion years ago, you know. :)

Off topic but NASA is holding a press conference at one about possibly finding evidence of liquid water on mars within the last few years.

Black Hole

[Sensei Ern]

Doctor Zen, YOU IDIOT! You had the Hubble turned backwards! That was Ted Kennedy taking a tour of the Jim Beam factory!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The NASA telescope could see Michael Richards' standup routine?

[Sensei Ern]

Do star-guzzling blackholes cause universal warming?

[A_perfect_lady]

The truth is out. We live on a fleck of dust orbiting one of the dots in a giant Pacman game.

[marvlus]

How is it that we can detect something that far away? Any layman's answer would be much appreciated.

[ZeitgeistSurfer]

I know how that star feels everytime I go to a Waffle House.

[RockinRight]

But enough about Ted Kennedy.

The trouble with stars is that after an hour you are hungry again.

--the Milky Way galaxy in which our solar system resides has a dormant super-massive black hole at its center.--

What the heck is a "dormant" black hole. It either is or isn't a black hole I would think and once it's a black hole it stays a black hole.

"For the past two years, scientists have monitored the dramatic events..."

Can they give us more than the 'artist's concept' drawing of one stage? How about a two year time lapse from the telescope?

[Flash Bazbeaux]

It's images like this that I like to conjur up when the Gaia Freaks talk about worshipping "Nature".

[glaseatr]

NASA has photos but the picture from the article is an "Artists Rendition" Oh brother.

[DustyMoment]

I hope this is only available for adults to view. It's much too violent for children to see.

Think "Grief Counselors".

Did the perp look anything like this?...

[Nathan Zachary]

Sure they did. Whenever I hear "scientists say", 99.9% of the time it turns out to be B.S. It's just a "give us more taxpayers money so we can spend our lives slurping at the public trough" carrot the dangle to keep the cash flowing.

A black hole wouldn't be seen gulping a star, the light wouldn't be able to escape the gravity, so the (B.S.) theory goes. More likely, it was just a star that burned out a billion years ago (so the B.S. theory goes) and the light finally stopped reaching earth.

Her's a much better theory- there is a speck of dust on the lens.
