Fun Factoid: Supermassive Black Hole.. Not just a Muse Song
Did you know that our sun is not the center of our Galaxy (Milky way galaxy) but one of 100-400 billion stars within this galaxy? In fact our sun and the other suns rotate much like an electron orbits around an atom core. At the center of this grand orbit is what was discovered to be a supermassive black hole. This hole generates enough gravitational energy to have billions of planets orbit around it. In fact it is believed that the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole and galaxy's can actually collide with one another.
