Zooming into Sagittarius A*

ESO’s exquisitely sensitive GRAVITY instrument has added further evidence to the long-standing assumption that a supermassive black hole lurks in the centre of the Milky Way. New observations show clumps of gas swirling around at about 30% of the speed of light on a circular orbit just outside a four million solar mass black hole - the first time material has been observed orbiting close to the point of no return, and the most detailed observations yet of material orbiting this close to a black hole.
This video starts with a wide view of the Milky Way and then zooms into a visualization of data from simulations of orbital motions of gas swirling around at about 30% of the speed of light on a circular orbit around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.

Hey, you forgot to put in the black hole.

And God made the two great lights-the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night-and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. Genesis 1:14-19 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Psalms 19:1 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.

i was really depressed today, i was scared that my old depression was coming back, which ive suffered with for many years. I live in the country, (no light pollution) and i rode my motorbike to the nearest petrol station at midnight to buy some ciggarettes, as i rode back i pulled over, and had a smoke, and looked up to the stars.. I could see a whole sky beaming with stars, so bright, could see clusters, allsorts..... and it dawned on me once again like it has before, we are so small, we are tiny, we are like a grain of sand in a space so big that we cant even comprehend, im tiny, im nothing!!! So why let a few stupid thoughts control my life??? its not even anything!! The meaning of depressing thoughts in my head is like a literal tear drop, compared to all the water on earth. this made me suddenly feel much better, instantly. Its made me want to just concentrate on the beauty of life instead of feeling sad sometimes. I love you all guys. xx

We dont know if in the galactic cores arent black holes but white holes either. Im convinced that galaxies are made of ejected matter from these white holes called quasars. As the white hole is ejecting more and more matter, this matter creates from dust and gasses protostars and protoplanetary systems and galaxy with its arms grows..as the galaxy is getting older, its starting to desintegrate, arms are longer and less dense. You can clearly see it on Hubble classification of galaxies. Different evolving phases of the galaxies.

@@jayvillane well i mean most of sag a is way outside the event horizon, hence the orbit of the stars. it's quite possible some or most of those stars have habitable planets. I'd be curious as to how powerful the radiation from the plasma near the black hole's event horizon is, as compared to the radiation from the stars in those solar systems, because that's the only way I could think that the black hole could mess with life there - from what I've seen the stars aren't so dense that they would disrupt the orbits of each other's satellites.
