Researchers in China have spotted a supermassive black hole, 12 billion times 

the size of the sun and around 900 million years old.  A black hole is a dense 

region of space that has collapsed in on itself.

That sounds really fascinating, but black holes can be dangerous so it also 

sounds scary.  Like should we be scared of it?
