    Stars are mineral, and minerals aren't 'born' nor do they 'die' - they exist, and that's because they've always existed. Only animal and vegetable organisms are born and die.

    I can't imagine it seeing a black hole at any distance.

    Stars are gases. Minerals haven't always existed. Most atoms are created in stars or super novas. Everything in the universe was 'born' and will 'die'. Nothing has always existed and nothing lasts for ever.

    You never had a good science teacher did you?

    False alarm. Turns out the photo of the black hole

    [​IMG]

    Is really a blurry image of an orange-glazed donut sitting on the researchers desk.

    Somewhere in the universe, a small alien and his ambiguously hetero friend are trying to drop a ring into a volcano. . .

    It's a case of the wrong "black hole":
    One of those guys "moon" lights as a proctologist.
