Lovely. Discuss. We gonna die!New data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest a highly distorted supernova remnant may contain the most recent black hole formed in the Milky Way galaxy. The remnant appears to be the product of a rare explosion in which matter is ejected at high speeds along the poles of a rotating star. The remnant, called W49B, is about a thousand years old as seen from Earth and located about 26,000 light-years away.
FYI: I want to make it clear I'm not sitting here sweating in my chair, shaking, terrified of this. The 'we gonna die!' comment should be fairly obviously - a joke.
Though we are gonna die... I'm looking at all of you. >:P
