This is pretty cool: the Science News article linked from the front page of the NYTimes is about the G2 object’s imminent encounter with Sgr A* (or at least its accretion flow). I have a minuscule quote but anyway it’s a great article about a very interesting event, that we hope will shed some new light on our Galactic Center’s supermassive black hole (and my personal favorite black hole…).
