I was told there's a blackhole in the center of our Galaxy. I've also seen many computerised models of the Galaxy on tv and magazines. most of these models show the galactic core as a bright and yellowish cloud. problem is, I thought blackholes are black...
also, a more confusing one: For as much as i know blackholes suck things into them. does that mean our solar system, which is right now still pretty far from the center, will eventually (like say after 10^10 years) end up in the Galactic core as well? or, ok maybe it just provides centripetal force so we arent getting sucked into it, but what if one day the rotation of the galaxy suddenly slowed down, I mean, is that possible at all? and whats keeping the Galaxy rotating anyway?
Once again, if my memories didn't trick me, i remember once seeing reports about a galaxy far away from ours being sucked into a big huge blackhole, but how is that possible, if the center of the galaxies are blackholes too?
