Supermassive black hole will 'eat' gas cloud

Recommended Posts

As it is torn apart, the turbulent area around the black hole will become unusually bright, giving astronomers a chance to learn more about it.

An article in Nature suggests the spectacle should be visible in 2013.

Researchers using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope estimate that despite its size, the cloud has a total mass of only about three times that of Earth.

They have plotted the cloud's squashed, oval-shaped path and estimate it has doubled its speed in the last seven years - to 2,350km per second.

It should spiral in to within about 40 billion kilometres of the black hole in the middle of 2013.

He was momentarily being sucked into a black hole but he was able to escape the event horizon.

 

But I do agree. Nah!

Its eaten heartily before, it will again. Jets spin down below a certain threshold. This event though...is trivial and small.
