There are two modes to specify the time interval of ephemeris. ... This mode is applicable if the date of opposition belongs to the basic interval of 16 months from November of the year preceding to the title one to February of the subsequent one. In this case the ephemeris is centered at the nearest standard moment (its Julian day minus 0.5 is exactly divisible by 10) which precedes or coincides with the moment of opposition of minor planet in specified year. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
