Scientists discovered evidence of a enormous black hole in the galactic center 
of our milky way galaxy.
 I am curious as to the surroundings of the star when it dies.
 It seems that in order for this transformation to take place ,there must be a 
sufficiant amount of matter and gases for the black hole to feed on.
 This is why i have this idea about the black hole forming in a nebula.
