... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... In the context of the autonomous TAROT observatory we have developed an automatic scheduling software. ... With the advent of automatic telescopes and the use in service mode of large facilities, the problem of efficient night scheduling is becoming more important. ... However, we encountered some difficulties handling periodic or constrained requests with a large time interval, and it is unable to give to the telescope users and operators the visibility over the schedule. ...
