[…] Scientists believe that the supermassive black hole weighs approximately 6 million times our own sun’s mass, and is located around 375 million light-years away in a galaxy similar to the Milky Way in the constellation Volans.Scientists believe the star destroyed in the video was around the size of our own sun. Tidal disruptions of stars are incredibly rare events, only occurring in a galaxies like the Milky Way once every 10,000 to 100,000 years. MORE HERE
Extremely extremely cool. I love this stuff. Just hope the scientist, if he goes on TV, chooses his tee shirt wisely!
in 12 years it will be sucking up Uranus, all hope will be gone for millinianals
Sheila Jackson Lee ate what?
Who photoshopped the black dot on the photo? Did the center resemble Maxine Waters?
I think I see where the astronauts planted the flag
I’ll finish the line for the Discovery Channel,
“……because of Global Warming.”
I remember when I first went to Volans … I was the first guy there, as a matter of fact … and I had to wrestle the solar-system-shattering forces of gravity raging around that Black Hole to allow our space ship to escape.
Ahhh … good times … good times …
Did the Enterprise come busting out of it?

… in twelve years there won’t be any stars left!
Remember, this is not an actual picture of the alleged phenomenon they are attempting to describe. Using a “transit photometry survey” method with a new satellite they compile best guesses about extremely distant objects. Analysis of the data gathered in these surveys is number-crunched in scientific models along with established data about the same areas of the sky observed from land based radio telescopes. There are no such pictures of black holes aside from those of mentioned in previous comments.
exactly how I imagined Hillary’s soul to be
Considering modern “science, and scientists” no one knows exactly WTF happened, or if it even happened at all.
