A black hole might be more appropriate than a galaxy.

It would have to be a half-black hole.

Does this mean he’s going to move there?

[Colonel_Flagg]

Indeed.

[Vide]

A moon of Uranus would be more appropriate.

[onedoug]

I wonder what they call our galaxy.

[Paleo Conservative]

There’s a black hole at the center of all galaxies.

Scientists Now Know: We’re Not From Here!

Summary & comments by Dan Eden for Viewzone

Imagine the shock of growing up in a loving family with people you call “Mum” and “Dad” and then, suddenly, learning that you are actually adopted!

This same sense of shock came as scientists announced that the Sun, the Moon, our planet and its siblings, were not born into the familiar band of stars known as the Milky Way galaxy, but we actually belong to a strange formation with the unfamiliar name of the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy!

How can this be?

Using volumes of data from the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), a major project to survey the sky in infrared light led by the University of Massachusetts, the astronomers are answering questions that have baffled scientists for decades and proving that our own Milky Way is consuming one of its neighbors in a dramatic display of ongoing galactic cannibalism. The study published in the Astrophysical Journal, is the first to map the full extent of the Sagittarius galaxy and show in visually vivid detail how its debris wraps around and passes through our Milky Way. Sagittarius is 10,000 times smaller in mass than the Milky Way, so it is getting stretched out, torn apart and gobbled up by the bigger Milky Way.

There..fixed it...

[bamahead]

Declination just to the left of Uranus.

The Black Hole Obama galaxy? Oh yes, we already see it's worm hole here:

[onedoug]

Interesting. But where did the black hole(s) at the center of our galaxy come from? They evidently pre-dated this event, or one would think the Sagittarius source would be completely subsumed by now.

[Dick Bachert]

Why not a brown dwarf MENTAL MIDGET?

There, fixed it!

[WePledge]

I’ll pitch in the first dollar to start the travel fund so “O” can go visit his new galaxy!

[doug from upland]

I don’t have those answers.

A.k.a. The Horse’s Ass Nebula.

[luvie]

LIKE!!

[AFreeBird]

It looks like a massive black hole is consuming that galaxy.

If anyone thinks that’s racist - Bite Me!

Previously known as the Sphincter Galaxy.

The MIB’s will be knocking on your door, soon!
