'Bully' black hole blasts galaxy with radiation

Posted by Miss Cellania in Everything Else on December 29, 2007 at 9:48 pm


150_art.death.star.galaxyA black hole in what has been nicknamed the “death star galaxy” is sending a jet of radiation and energy to a smaller neighboring galaxy. Millions of stars are in the path of the deadly stream, possibly with orbiting planets. Such an attack would render any planet lifeless. The cosmic violence is only about a million years old, and may stretch for another 10 to 100 million years. The two galaxies revolve around each other, and are 24,000 light years apart. The attack poses no danger to Earth, as the galaxies are over a billion light years away. Link -Thanks, Cheese Duck!

    This is much more dangerous than the necleuer weapons we are having on earth.
    This could be the big fight against radiations.
