| Summary |
Take a tour of the cosmic hot zones- black holes, galaxy mergers, gamma ray bursts and magnetars. Massive black holes can literally 'lasso' the Earth out of the solar system. A clash between two galaxies can result in a barbaric ritual called 'galactic cannibalism' in which the dominant galaxy's massive black hole literally eats the weaker one. Magnetars are a cosmic magnetic force so strong it could wipe out data on every credit card on the planet |
