Black hole at heart of Milky Way about to have a snack

RE: Black hole at heart of Milky Way about to have a snack
That's true. I'm now going to claim that by light I meant the far infrared radiation that we receive from the event and hopefully lead you away from my silly error of forgetting about the dust clouds. I actually did physically kick myself for making a mistake on the same kind of level as pushing a door marked 'pull'.

The most amazing part of the article for me is that this object is the size of a small planet, yet we can detect it from this unimaginable distance, measure its velocity and watch its inevitable fate. You can't do that with a bible.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
