See you say that. But the fact is that it is close enough that if it orients in the right direction ( don't know if it isn't mind you) a big enough piece of the it's orbiting star getting ate up could send a massive burst of gamma rays our way. We won't know it either until it hits us either as we are seeing the light of that star 1600 years ago.

Too close for my comfort. Black holes are the ultimate in absolutely destruction.

Fine then. Take away my cosmic horror vibe. I'll just settle on plane old global warming and resource conflicts in the near future. :/
