Seems they found a star orbiting the galactic center at very high speeds.

I remeber after seeing that, being always fascinated with them. Then after reading "A brief history on Time" I came to realise they're even MORE interesting! No doubt theres some huge black hole thingymajig spinning our galaxy peacefully, I'm just wondering when it'll start acting up again! :)

Post by: Nico on October 17, 2002, 02:35:00 pm: seems there's black holes about everywhere, so why not a big one in the center of the galaxy, after all. Always sounded logical to me, somehow.
