Scientists from Germany said that a huge gas cloud size in the center of the galaxy "Milky Way", is moving rapidly eight million miles per hour towards the black hole in the galaxy.
According to the scientists who are working under the supervision of Stefan Jilesn of the Max Planck Institute for Cosmic Physics, is expected to be completely torn apart the cloud over the coming years before the black hole swallows most of it.
The Jilesn in a statement issued by the European Observatory that the cloud will not be able to avoid confrontation with the black hole, and said it Staatmzk completely swallow up most of the black hole, noting that they watched through to the cloud will know how the process works exactly.
The temperature of the gas in the cloud at the moment about 280 ° C, and is expected to grow to several million degrees Celsius and that the lights are bright X-ray.
He added that Jilesn detailed control of the center of the galaxy in the coming years will be given the opportunity to study the flow characteristics of this growing, and how to follow the black hole to swallow this huge article.
According to scientists in their study, published in the journal "Nature," the British that they had reached this conclusion after observing the precise methodology of the Centre for the Milky Way "galaxy."
It contains most of the galaxies - if not all - a super-massive black hole at its center. For our galaxy is located close to the hole in the ground so scientists can monitor in detail.
This cloud has a mass equivalent to three times the mass of the earth about, and scientists believe that it "will approach" at a distance of 40 billion km away from the black hole in 2013, a distance considered as a "stone's throw" astronomical calculations.
