... 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. ...

The Extragalactic ALFA Zone of Avoidance team is mapping the distribution of low-Galactic-latitude galaxies and large scale structures through detection of galaxies' 21-cm emission with ALFA.
