"Located 26,000 light-years away, the black hole, called Sagittarius A*, is a gargantuan tear in space-time that is 4 million times the mass of the sun and 40 million miles (60 million kilometres) across. "
According to evolution, "glowing dimly since its first direct imaging in 1994, Sagittarius A* was once believed to be dormant for millions of years,"
But now it seems to have awaken some 200 years ago.
Well, God who made the heavens knows what is happening there.
