Black Hole theory confirmed, galaxy's dark centre exposed
(BBC NEWS, 16 October 2002)
There now seems little doubt that a supermassive black hole resides at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. . . . Scientists say they have produced the best evidence yet to confirm the object's existence. . . . Although the presence of the Milky Way's huge black hole, sited about 26,000 light-years from Earth, has long been suspected, the new data are said to confirm its presence. [Editorial Note: The Mayan long count calander is also approximately 26,000 years ... coincidence?] . . . "We have been able to exclude some still possible alternative configurations... there is nothing left that one would consider realistic and possible, other than a black hole." . . . The new evidence is reported in the journal . . . "These new data probe the galactic centre more closely than ever before," says Dr Karl Gebhardt, a University of Texas astronomer, in a commentary. . . . "The only compelling explanation is that there is a supermassive black hole lurking there. These results are the best evidence yet that supermassive black holes are not just theory, but fact."
