Huge black holes, millions of times more massive than our Sun, are hurtling toward Earth and will eventually end life as we know it.
This particular black hole is located at the heart of the Greater Andromeda Galaxy, which is the Milky Way’s largest and closest companion. It is traveling towards us at a speed of 110 kilometers per second.
The supermassive black hole at the heart of most known galaxies is orbited by stars and keeps the entire system in formation.
However, the Milky Way and Andromeda have such a strong gravitational pull that they are drawn to each other and may eventually collide. Fraser Cain of Universe Today, editor of a space website, posted this for Phys.org:
“The Milky Way is centered on a black hole. It’s a supermassive black hole, meaning its mass exceeds 4.1 million times that of the Sun. It’s directly there, in front of the constellation Sagittarius. Located about 26,000 years away from the light of the Furthermore, Earth, like a voracious shark, is currently destroying entire star systems and star systems and occasionally swallowing them to increase its volume.
But when Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, there will only be one winner due to its enormity. However, for now we are safe because Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away and will take more than four billion years to reach us.
“Panic will occur when the Milky Way and Andromeda collide in about 4 billion years,” Cain said.
“Suddenly, two entire stellar clouds will interact in various ways, like an unstable blended family.”
“Stars that would otherwise be safe will quickly pass other stars and be redirected toward one of the two supermassive black holes that currently exist. Because Andromeda’s black hole may have a mass 100 million times that of the Sun, the stars that host the death Cravings are more likely to haunt you.
