... 2001 September 10 . Galactic Center Flicker Indicates Black Hole . ... CXO , NASA . Explanation: Why would the center of our Galaxy flicker? Many astronomers believe the only credible answer involves a black hole . ... Only one known type of object can fit so much mass in so small a volume: a black hole . This short flicker therefore provides additional evidence that a black hole does indeed reside at our Galaxy's center . ... About APOD | ... NASA Technical Rep.: ...

... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...
