As with impunity to meet a black hole

In the center of our galaxy is restless. There's very strange things are happening. Recently, the European Southern Observatory observed in the "Very Large Telescope", as the object of G2, be a giant cloud of dust, without the всякого harm to themselves passed close to the supermassive black hole at the galactic center.

Finding an object G2 in 2011, astronomers did not pay too much attention to him, and immediately ranked him to the clouds. And, having prepared popcorn, steel wait until , when a black hole will tear apart the space clot. Part of it had to be swallowed by the hole, leaving astronomers hoped to see the flash of energy and other effects. Doubts among scientists was not - observations even talked about that a little cloud gradually spreads.

But a strange thing happened, and in September 2014 passed peribotron G2 (the point of closest approach to the black hole) without any changes were made. Measuring the speed of the object shown that just before he was removed from the convergence of the Earth at a speed of about ten million miles per hour, and after turning around the black hole began to move towards the Earth at a rate of twelve million kilometers per hour.

Hole itself also does not transmit any signals. And then there was interest in the mysterious object. Now scientists believe that the cloud must contain within itself a very massive object, prevent its escalation. Most likely, this young star, immersed in the parent cloud. In the meantime, continued observation.
