Mysterious Stars Surround Andromeda's Black Hole

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hot-young-stars dept.

UltimaGuy writes to tell us that Yahoo is running a story about a recent discovery that shows the source of strange blue light coming from the center of the Andromeda galaxy. The light is actually a cluster of stars circling the galaxy's central black hole with immense orbital velocity. From the article: "Such frenetic activity was thought to prevent star formation. Stars form when a knot of gas and dust collapses under its own gravity."

    Who is Andromeda? And why are movie stars so interested in his/her black hole?
