Hypervelocity Stars Hint at a Supermassive Black Hole Just outside the Milky Way
The study looked at hypervelocity stars, ones that are screaming through space at speeds far higher than stars around them. Some of these stars are moving so rapidly that they have reached galactic escape velocity; the Milky Way’s gravity can’t hold them. In the coming eons, they’ll flee the galaxy entirely. And we have good reason to believe these runaway stars were launched by SMBHs—but how?
sorry for sounding like a prick, but here goes:
europa is SO uninhabitable. you couldn't make it to the potentially survivable part. and even if you could, you'd be under more pressure than our deepest oceans could ever imagine. i could go further, but i'm trying to not be a prick.
Are you in the right thread?
am i ever?
What does this have to do with the post, apart from vaguely being about space
good fucking question! i don't think i replied to this post, but it's weird that it's still space-related. i wish i could remember what i actually replied to (edit - or rather which post i thought i was replying to. this was clearly a pebkac issue, but i can't figure out how it happened_
Went in thinking about Huggies, i mean Hypervelocity and went out depressed thinking about my life in europa. So the pressure i feel in germany is not only in my head?
