Researchers at the College of Charleston and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have recently completed a study concerning the fate of a newly discovered gas cloud that soon will be devoured by a supermassive black hole that resides at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The gas cloud, known as G2, is expected to pass within 40 billion kilometers (270 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun) of the black hole named Sgr A* in June of next year.
