Interesting but my pea sized brain cannot get around a “black hole that eats stars”. I am sure it is true but...........

Picture a strong vacuum cleaner and a giant marshmallow... say “Ghostbusters” type. ;-)

gigantic black hole
I know little of black holes - but I don't think size matters.

but I don't think size matters. That's just something that women say. They don't really mean it.

There’s an Obama/Sirius the Dog Star joke in here somewhere, right?

I really think we should sponsor a tour of that black hole for the Obamaloon West Wing Clown Show of Felon/Cretins.
We’ll even throw in a short tour past the event horizon - just for them, if the Cretin-in-Chief promises to come.

When I saw the headline, I thought maybe Sean Penn has beed dating Oprah.

“The team believes the victim was probably a star in its late, red giant phase which had tempted fate by wandering to within a third of an astronomical unit (150 million kilometers) of the black hole”
It asked for it.
Shoulda stayed outta the hood.

If I have to look at one more “artists rendering” of a black hole I’m going to scream. :)

I guess that saying about “... you never go back.” is true.

Actually, it does, depending on what you want to do with it.
I think you can fall into a gigantic black hole, at least for a "while", before you run into all the stuff that's trying to get out.
OTOH, falling into a typical black hole will have you stretched, and pulled apart down to the particle level relatively quickly.
