There's a hole in the middle of it all

There is a giant black hole at the centre of our galaxy, a study has confirmed.

So the whole thing really *is* spiralling down the plughole. I knew it!

It's interesting how long it takes some things to be published. I was at a British Astronomical Association meeting back in April 2005 at which we were shown a short movie showing the movements of the stars at the centre of the galaxy. At the time I remember being impressed by how fast the stars there were moving.
