Shocking news from NASA tonight?

[Chris Trott]

Having gone to the NASA site, my guess is that whatever this object is, it has the ability to wipe us out because it was found by the Chandra X-Ray observatory. Most of what it finds are not life friendly.

Here ya go. Byline reads - "NASA's Chandra Finds Youngest Nearby Black Hole"

Apparently it's only 30 years old (yes, not a typo), but we have to remember that it's been VISIBLE TO US for 30 years because it's located 50 million light years away, so it's actually 50,000,030 years old.
