Ever been to a planetarium? It's been a while, but the one on the campus of my university is one of the best in the state.

I haven't been to one in ages. The one in the city is supposed to be really good now. I'll have to go and check it out one of these days.
 
I just wanted to comment that this is a fantastic thread! I absolutely love space topics. Space ....(and whatever we haven't found out there) is just so absolutely interesting.
 
Researchers Have Discovered a Black Hole 40 Billion Times More Massive than Our Sun.

The approximate scale of the largest known supermassive black hole (S5 0014+81) compared to the size of our Solar System.

S5 0014+81 is a distant, compact, hyperluminous, broad-absorption line quasar or blazar located near the high declination region of the constellation Cepheus, near the North Equatorial Pole. The object is a blazar, in fact an FSRQ (Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar) quasar, the most energetic subclass of objects known as active galactic nuclei, produced by the rapid accretion of matter by a central supermassive black hole, changing the gravitational energy to light energy that can be visible in cosmic distances.

In the case of S5 0014+81 it is one of the most luminous quasars known, with a total luminosity of over 1041 watts, equal to an absolute bolometric magnitude of -31.5.

Astronomers capture first image of a black hole.

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) -- a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration -- was designed to capture images of a black hole. Today, in coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers reveal that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.

The image reveals the black hole at the center of Messier 87, a massive galaxy in the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster. This black hole resides 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5-billion times that of the Sun.
