Ok. Here's a question.

The centre of our galaxy is a black hole.

 

BUT....

 

"galactic centre of the Milky Way. It has luminosity far greater than the Sun,"

 

I thought a black hole got that name from the fact that light cannot escape from it.

 

That seems a contradiction.

Nah.

Can you not comprehend the number 42?

Another fact !.

Our neighbour " andromeda " will pass through our Milky way Galaxy .

Meaning , we don't need to travel as far to visit . Just wait a while.

And how many thousand years before that happens, Spacey? I'm not sure if I've got that amount of lifespan left!

A mere second in the cosmic calender.
