Some 45 million light years away in the direction of the constellation of Fornax, a supermassive black hole is consuming its breakfast… and it doesn't want just toast and tea. It has a hungry belly and the energetic area surrounding the central black hole is super-heated through its interaction with dust, gas, and other matter. Oh, dear. What can that matter be? Try a smaller galaxy that dared to get too close…

The writer should be boiled in oil for the silly way in which she has presented this otherwise very interesting article. ::) But the photo makes it all worthwhile and must surely rank as one of the best I've seen.

yes - lots of astronomy writers have weird text.. but the images are cool.
I really wish more professional astronomers would make the effort with things.... I dunno, I just feel that sometimes you need that PhD to properly understand the implications. :dunno:

Yes. These authors treat their readers like children and most people just cringe. :(
