It's really cool to see that we have so much instruments, we can actually monitor (a very small part) of the universe activity.
- q1w2 2y agoA more correct title is "Galaxy brightens and scientists suspect it might be due to the galaxy's black hole" There is no direct evidence the black hole is doing anything - it's just the only theory we have.
