Gas cloud plunging into Milkyway’s central Black Hole

Images taken by the Very Large Telescope array have shown evidence of a gas cloud on a death plunge in to Sagittarius A* the supermassive black hole at the Milkyway’s center. The cloud was discovered by astronomer Stefan Gillessen and is going in at a whopping 2,500 kilometers per second and is expected to be gobbled up by the supermassive black hole some time in 2013.

It is expected to cause the supermassive black hole to produce one or more huge flare of radiation. Fortunately it is not a threat to the Earth but unfortunately it will not be visible to the naked eye. It will prove astronomers clues as to the reason that Milkyway’s central Black Hole is as different from quasars as it is. Quasars are thought to be extremely active while the Milkyway’s central Black Hole is not active at all.

Ironically since Sagittarius A* is about 25,000 light years away, the event has actually already happened and it has simply taking thousands of years for the light to reach us.

According Cosmological Relativity, when applied to a bounded universe with a rapid expansion of space, time dilation would occur placing this event at 5 to 6 thousand years ago. Dr. Russel Humphreys’ White Hole Cosmology would produce similar levels of time dilation would occur. In both cases this even may have occurred on day four of creation or during the Genesis Flood.

Two enormous black holes Discovered.

Calling them suppermassive black holes would probably be considered insults because these monsters are truly massive. They dwarf the previous record of 6.3 billion times the mass of the sun. Both of these black holes are larger in dynamiter than the entire solar system and could easily swallow us whole. They were found at the centers of other galaxies by the Hubble Space Telescope.


The smaller on is located in the center of galaxy NGC 3842 in the consolation Leo at a distance of about 331 million light-years. It mass is that 9.7 billion Suns but compared to other one it is actually small.

The larger one and king of the suppermassive black holes is at the center of galaxy NGC 4889 in the Coma constellation and at a distance of 336 million light-years. This monster of a black hole has the mass of a whopping 21 billion Suns.

Discoveries like these are show that the universe sill has many mysteries hiding in the depths of space. It needs to be noted that suppermassive black holes like this are so large that planets and even stars could fall through the event horizon intact. It is amazing how powerful God’s creation is.

These black holes have the masses of small galaxies. They could not have formed from supernovae since it would require a star a mass of over 100 billion suns many orders of magnitudes larger than any possible star.  The only other naturalistic recourse is to assume they resulted from the collisions of smaller black holes, but it would take hundreds of millions of such collisions to form even one small suppermasive black hole when not even one black hole collision has ever been observed.

One creation model has God using these suppermasive black holes as the staring poits for building galaxies.
