European Observatory: the black hole in the Milky Way is about to swallow the gas cloud.

PARIS - (AFP) - The European Southern Observatory, Thursday, that the black hole is very heavy in the heart of our galaxy, known as Darb Way is about to be swallowed up in the coming years a large gas cloud was approaching speed of 8 million km per hour.

This is the first time that monitors the approach of a similar cloud of black hole is very thick.

This discovery, which was by the very large telescope of the observatory was published in the electronic version of the British scientific journal "Nature."

Has doubled the speed of the cloud discovered by astronomers management team Ganzl Reinhard during the last seven years and amounted to 8 million km per hour.

The black hole is situated in the heart of the Milky Way was called "Sagiitirios er" is the largest of the four million times the sun. The cloud of gas Septolha hole is almost three times greater than Earth.

The closer to the cloud, consisting mainly of hydrogen and helium, the greater the speed of gravity under the influence of the hole.

It is also expected to get hotter, which now amount to 280 ° C to reach millions of degrees such as the giant hole that swallowed up.

Said Reinhard Ganzl "The coming years will provide us with an eventful with valuable information on the movements of material on this giant holes.
