    OMG…THAT was AWEsome! Thanks for sharing that link. I don’t mean to quibble but I think measuring a black hole’s diameter as ” 4 light days” is…well… an oxymoron. ;-D

      Good catch on the black hole. Maybe 4 light-days for the squished astronaut who is trying to fly through it in a magical spaceship???
