UP ON THE ROOF WITH MISS AMERICA (ROOFTOP PHOTO BLOG)

Hi Everybody! 
Please come in and get comfortable.
We had quite a Saturday Night Dance/Hippy Hour on the last Post. I hope you are starting to join us for the Dance Lineup (3 videos). We are dancing to increase the level of Joy for everyone! Can you feel it? I told Lana that I danced on the roof! I realize that does sound a bit crazy. True, but crazy!
Tonight for your photostudy, we are going to view my Rooftop Deck. I built this for my dog, Kay Lonnie Wray (aka Miss America). She is the last of my Mom's dogs and came to live with me 6 years ago when Mom left. Kay Lonnie is a red bone hound. They love to howl at the moon! My Mom told her she was Miss America, so the dog believes she is a Star. I built her a stairway to Heaven with her own Stage. It is connected to my Roof.
Revealed tonight is my personal life, with my dogs and birds. Sorry it is not Glamorous and fancy, It is what it is!!
Enjoy!
To make this a little more fun for you, I am posting some photos of Kay Lonnie throwing her head back and howling.When you see one of her singing/howling, please sing along. This is how she sounds:  Baaaaaaoooooou.
Now don't do it on any other photos-just the ones where her head is back.
(Let's see if I catch You!)


Ready?  Enjoy the Show on the Rooftop!
(Another first for Google Blogger!!!)

The center of our Milky Way Galaxy, located about 27,000 light years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, is occupied by a supermassive black hole. This black hole contains over 4 million times the mass of our Sun in an area smaller than half the orbit of Mercury. Matter accreting into the black hole is heated up to millions of degrees, which makes the area shine bright in radio and infrared waves. This radio source is called Sagittarius A*; the black hole itself cannot be seen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*

Over the past 16 years, astronomers have tracked a full orbit of a star, S2, around the black hole. At it's closest point (perinigricon), S2 comes to within 17 light-hours of the black hole. From studying the Keplerian motions of S2 and other stars near the Galactic Center, astronomers have determined that these stars must be under the influence of an enormously massive, compact object. The only celestial object that could meet those requirements is a black hole. A huge black hole.
This video begins with a picture showing the central 3 light years (central parsec) of our Galaxy. It then goes into a full zoom from our viewpoint to the Galactic Center, then shows the orbits of various stars around the black hole.
