Milky Way (NASA infrared image) |
In the center of our Milky Way galaxy lies a gigantic
black hole. Over eons of time, it had feasted on
gas, then emitted cosmic burps at least once. Scientists note that this faux pas occurred in 2010, and others
are likely to
follow.
Should we be
setting up shelters regarding such eventualities? Not to worry.
Our little corner of
the galaxy is far enough away from such Milky eruptions to politely ignore them. Were we up close and personal, Earth
would have burnt to a crisp long
ago.
