Peering into the Heart of Darkness

27,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Sagittarius lies a star called S2. It has an eccentric, high-elliptical orbit around a superdense object that happens to be right in the hot, violent centre of the Milky Way, with the entire spiral galaxy rotating around it. Astronomers have determined that this object is a supermassive black hole, which they call Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A* for short. It’s estimated to be 4.31 million times more massive than our Sun and 15.4 million kilometres wide—and it’s spinning so fast that it travels at 30% of the speed of light. Black holes usually radiate a lot of energy as they guzzle down matter, but ours is strangely quiet at the moment, and astronomers suggest that it is “starved” of matter, and used to be much more active. Although the black hole should be too massive and violent to allow any stars to form near it, observations have shown a cluster of at least 27 young stars orbiting the Sgr A*, called the S-stars. These must have formed further away but were drawn in by Sgr A*’s gravitational pull. The cluster, which includes S2, is currently under half a light-year from the black hole and is slowly being dragged closer with every orbit—and one day, they’ll be swallowed by darkness.

Have you ever heard of the amazing and inspirational Carl Sagan?

Carl Sagan was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, author and science communicator. Why inspirational? Well, there are many intelligent beings in the world but not all of them are capable of communicating and appealing to the people like Carl Sagan did. Carl Sagan did this through his books and various media (The Cosmos being especially popular). 

Why bring him up now?

Well, today, along with many other humans, Carl Sagan was born 78 years ago on November 9th 1934. So happy Carl Sagan Day! 

“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.” - Carl Sagan.

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the Universe”. - Carl Sagan.

I recommend all of you to listen to this video by Symphony of Science “A glorious dawn ft. Stephen Hawking”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc

Neil shook his head.  "Uh-uh. Notmy Boss Space Lady. Seem nice though. Nice like space."  He ended with a reassuring smile.

The Space Core brightened up even more and made little hops on his feet when he heard about a game.  "Ooh! Ooh! What kind of game? Space game? OH BOY! Love space games!"

Neil stopped for a moment to study the child figure in front of him, blinking a few times.  ”…Boss…Space Lady?”  The Space Core was thoroughly confused.  She sounded a bit like GLaDOS, but looked more like an android turret build from another universe, yet she wasn’t colored like a turret. “Talking funny.  Not like Funny Talking Space Buddy though.”

To answer Jack's question, Neil pointed a tiny finger up to Jack's face.  "Eyepatch! Yarrr! You are SPACE PIRATE! HAHAHAHAHA yes, better name. Will call you Space Pirate!"  At least that answer made sense in his childlike programming.

The temporary child looks at the mostly likely same minded individual.

“Hello. I dun think I’ma like you. You shud now tha.” she smiles playfully.
