Swallowed by a Black Hole
Description
A gas cloud three times the size of our planet has strayed within the gravitational reach of our nearest supermassive black hole. Across the globe, telescopes are being trained on the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, some 27,000 light years from Earth, in the expectation of observing the unique cosmic spectacle-for the first time in the history of science.
