Astronomers have spied a distant black hole in the act of creating the galaxy that will eventually become its home.

By sending a jet of gas and highly energetic particles into a neighboring galaxy, the black hole has touched off star formation at a rate 100 times the galactic average.

I find Black Holes so interesting. If I had to choose a way to die I would fly a spaceship into a black hole.

I find Black Holes Fascinating as well..I'm glad some evidence of Galactic formation; possibly depending on Black Holes has been discovered. There are also theories that some galaxies give rise to Black Hole formation..IMHO...Both are true...our species tends to always look for only ONE explanation for any phenomena; usually there are a myriad of interconnected factors involved.
