. This picture, taken by the Subaru Telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, shows four images of the same quasar (the four white dots in the center). The quasar is almost 10 billion light-years from us and its light has been split into four by the gravitational influence of a foreground cluster of galaxies 6.2 billion light-years from us. Some of the galaxies of the cluster appear as yellow dots in the image. Sloan Digital Sky Survey

... 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. ...
