Is That A Black Hole In Your Pocket Or Are You Just A Suck-Up?

Mmm, Black Holes.  Not the most exotic things in the universe, but pretty close.  Ever wondered what these enigmatic things are and how they work?  Here's a really neat flash animation of just what it means to be a Black Hole.

As an added bonus, I'm including this link to UCLA astronomer Andrea Ghez's TED talk showing proof that the center of our galaxy, The Milky Way, is powered by a Supermassive Black Hole.  Have fun, but don't get caught too close to the event horizon.
