ESOcast 39: A Black Hole's Dinner is Fast Approaching
Loading...
Uploaded by ESOobservatory on Dec 14, 2011
Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered a gas cloud with several times the mass of the Earth accelerating towards the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. This is the first time ever that the approach of such a doomed cloud to a supermassive black hole has been observed. This ESOcast explains the new results and includes spectacular simulations of how the cloud will break up over the next few years.

Kane, we were directed to this video by a post about just the zoom in on our galaxys center. It didnt have the cool music, interviews, or the final video of the cloud being eaten.
