    6.4 billion suns? How can we comprehend that? Can we translate that to something more fathomable, like football fields?

    "This puts M87's hole within reach"

    The less mature side of me can't help but think, "I hate it when my hole ends up within reach."

    Someone likes Muse as much as I do. Unless I'm projecting that reference.

    Anyhow, I calmly await io9's FTL drive so the lot of us can go investigate. (No R.O.A.C.H. members allowed, I can't have someone going Sky Haussmann on us.)

    @Jesustron: If a galaxy is an eye of God, then we are in some serious dren. We're floating through the void near yet another eyeball upon what amounts to a grosteque Lovecraftian horror of universal proportions. Happy birthday, grandma.

    @Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: One might say that Miley Cyrus is the sonic anti-black hole, as what spews forth is decidedly a lot of noise.

    If there is no sound in a vacuum, how come vacuum cleaners make so much noise?

    @Dillenger69: They only sound like that on the outside. Next time you're cleaning, try sticking your head inside the vacuum cleaner. I bet you won't hear anything.
