... Pustilnik S.A. - Ugryumov A.V. Two new blue compact (or HII) galaxies HS 1013+3809 and HS 1442+4250 were discovered in course of the Hamburg/SAO survey for emission-line galaxies. Both these very metal-deficient galaxies (log(O/H)+12.0 = 7.58 for HS 1013+3809 and 7.68 for HS 1442+4250) are comparatively bright and very nearby, and thus are good laboratories for detailed study of star formation bursts and related processes in very low metallicity environment. ...

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. ...
