14 DAY TRIAL // A giant black hole located at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, some 25,000 light years away from planet Earth, is now busy gulping down a gas cloud.
Astronomers say that the gas cloud is being pulled by the black hole's gravitational forces, and that it is stretched out like spaghetti.
Check out the video above to learn more about this phenomenon.
Over the following weeks, the cloud will continue spiraling towards the black hole. It will eventually be torn to pieces, Nature reports.
The gas cloud was first documented in 2011. At that time, scientists named it G2. Its origin is not yet confirmed, but researchers say that it might have come from one of the stars floating about in the black hole's proximity.
Scientists say that watching this cloud get destroyed will help them learn more about black holes and their behavior.
