Astronomers are reporting that they have taken the measure of the biggest, baddest black holes yet found in the universe, abyssal yawns 10 times the size of our solar system into which billions of Suns have vanished like a guilty thought.

All you have to do is look to the occupiers of the White House
I was wondering just how big those particular black holes were.
Yikes!
Michelle’s what?
Really?
Read the title, it says “black holes” not assholes.
Even bigger than Uranus?
MF Global.
The fraudtational forces are so strong, any money that goes in is never seen again.
If black holes absorb everything around them and reduce the mater to nothing, how do they grow? Is the growth comprised of gravity or dark matter? That part has me stumped. I know everything else.
We live in a mixed community. There are bigger black holes in any of my kid’s high school classes.

Can’t have ANY thread in here where someone has to spoil it by dragging politics into it, can we?
The swirls around the hole resemble those in a washbowl sink ... indicating that graviy prevails out there, as it does on earth.
10 times as big as the solar system?
The scale of that illustration shows a black hole much bigger than 10 times, perhaps 80 times or more?
But, I suppose that the article meant to say a diameter ten times as big as the solar system.
Catastrophism ping. I wonder if Ross Perot hears this sucking sound?
They grow by swallowing up even more. They pull in anything and everything that gets too close, so I imagine they would swallow dark matter and dark energy as well.
