Those of you who have read stories about the galaxy being sucked into a
black hole in it's centre, exploding galactic cores, etc., will probably
find the following (excerpted from the New York Times) interesting:

"NEW YORK - Observations with 27 antennas strung out in a large Y pattern in
New Mexico have charted the heart of the Milky Way galaxy in great detail
for the first time. The resulting images reveal three curving streams of gas
that some astronomers believe are falling into a black hole at the very
center.

"... One or more rings of gas flying outward from the inner region of the
galaxy have been described as "smoke rings" generated by explosions in the
core...."

Anyone with ideas on how to get out of here?
