26,000 light years away...

In the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, the Max Planck institut claims (no info on the web yet) having discovered what must be a Black Hole.
There's an object that has been observed for quite some time, in orbit around something invisible, (our Galaxy's center) but going at a speed of ....18,000,000 km/h ! (It would only take 8hours and 20 minutes to go from the Earth to the Sun)
More on that later.
