I’m pretty sure it is several billion tons of several million kelvin hot plasma getting properly irradiated and shredded to pieces.

Fascinating. Can't wait to see what happens when SgrA* wakes up.

I would definitely like to see if Sagittarius-A gets a little excited or enlightened (his accretion disk to be exact).

That's our big badass black hole alright. Other galaxy's blackholes should be scared.

Cool. How long will it take to reach it from Earth’s perspective?

How many light years is this away? I'm guessing the actual event happened a loooong time ago for it's light to just reach us now.

Ah I see our empire finally found the infinity machine, worst case it just goes in and we get lots of physics research.

If it's big enough for us to detect it's probably just a planet or another black hole. What else could it be.

Spaghettification by a black hole now in the act of being observed, LIVE. As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating."

ikr, i hope it doesn't become the normal like all the other 90% subreddits in reddit,some joke comments are funny but not when all of them are jokes,especially when you are looking for some explanation or really interesting theories about the post.

So the sphagettification has already started outside of the event horizon? Because no other object in the vicinity is undergoing such changes as compared to this.

I have no idea, but it seems weird for the elongation to be happening so far away from the black hole. Something must have caused this peculiar shape and path.

2036 is when they expect the next closest approach so… maybe 13 years? It’s already close enough to suffer from the gravity in the situation and the’ve been watching it for 20 according to the article.

Imagine if some living creatures somewhere out there got spaghettified. I’ve read there is less chance of life evolving near the galactic core but perhaps at some point something sentient was like shit here we go!

You mean more insight than reading the article gave you? Because I read it, and it pretty much explained the current theories about the cloud and even the history behind the observation. Not sure what more than that you're expecting.

It is Santa. Someone tied an apple to Rudolph's antler and they went nuts. I guess that is where they ended up.
