Hey, thanks very much for the Heads Up Buggs...

I love watching those explanations. Appreciate it.

Take care, Bob

That is not the only "Black Hole" program that has just come out. Google video has just added a documentary from the Science Channel on Supermassive Black Holes. You can find it at:

Anyone want to model Sagittarius A* The system would comprise of the Main Black hole and about a dozen stars orbiting around it.

For Black Holes enthusiats, here some info about the future (not so far away, anyhow) production of tiny man-made Black Holes, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction close to Geneva, Switzerland.
Look here:

They say

"According to some theoretical models, tiny black holes could be produced in collisions at the LHC. They would then very quickly decay into what is known as Hawking radiation (the tinier the black hole, the faster it evaporates) which would be detected by experiments."

Wow! And if they don't evaporate?
Bye
