[FRIAM] center of the milkyway does containt a blackhole

[Gillian Densmore]

ok I'll say it here as well
Tell me that doesn't also look like the eye Sauron is infamous for using to
great effect. lol!

Ok now that I got that out my system:
I had wondered if this is the same science stunt we used to image a
blackhole...but what are they using as a light source and how do decide on
the galaxy's center
was this also created by the sheer weight of the galaxy? or did a star go
kaboom their good knows when and it just happened to be more or less dead
center of the galaxy?
and are they all shaped like a toilet?
