Milky Way's black hole swallows gigantic gas cloud 31 Jan 2012 at 12:14pm  Milky Way's black hole swallows gigantic gas cloud Source: www.videnskab.dk An international team of astronomers using the VLT telescope followed a giant gas cloud heading towards the black hole in Milky Way's center. This video shows the unique recordings. Milky Way's center is occupied by an enormous black hole four million times heavier than the Sun. The black hole is a gigantic monster that swallows everything that comes close to it. An international team of astronomers using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) discovered a giant gas cloud with a mass three times larger than Earth, with accelerating speed flows in the direction of the Milky Way's black hole. Through the seven years, preliminary observations have lasted, gas cloud has doubled its speed toward the center. Despite its small mass, astronomers can see gas cloud because it is illuminated by surrounding stars. The kind of events, scientists have long argued might occur, but it's the first time that astronomers have managed to observe it. This video documents the event and show what exactly it is that astronomers have seen. The video also features spectacular simulations of how the black hole's immense gravitational field will have a cloud to break up into smaller parts. The discovery can test the theory of black holes Associate in cosmology, Steen H. Hansen from the Dark Cosmology Centre, Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University, is fascinated by the discovery. "You have long wondered what might be found in the Milky Way's center that could make the stars <b>...</b> From: Nogetomalting Views: 119 0 ratings Time: 05:18 More in Science & Technology Read more...
