Star motion near Milky Way's galactic center

The central region of our Milky Way is an extremly interesting and fascinating field of research. Within few light years we find here ten thousands of stars forming a dense cluster, and the geometric centre of our Galaxy harbours a supermassive black hole with around 3.6 million solar masses. Due to its relative proximity of around 8 kiloparsecs, the Galactic Centre is a perfect laboratory to examine the physical processes in a galactic nucleus.

You would know that from your first-hand experience of my company, would you nitwit? :P

@Username93611 I think in your case, just a poor sense of humor.

@onjoFilms

Usually a sign of poor jokes, rather than lack of humor sense on everyone's part. :P

@Username93611 Most people can't.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Interstellar travel is already so logistically infeasible as to be practically impossible, for the foreseeable future. Intergalactic travel is a silly idea. Not only are intergalactic distances orders of magnitude larger than interstellar distances, but there's nothing to gain, at all, from traveling to another galaxy, unless, I suppose, you've colonized the entire host galaxy...

usually if a star is sort of swaying back and forth theres usually a planet around it

We must make a spaceship and leave the Galaxy or we are doomed.
