i know this may be a dumb question but what is the mass of that planet?
if it is anything approaching Jupiter mass, a sharp high school student should be able to measure the orbital perturbations by now.
if its albedo is anything less than darkest black we should be able to see it without aid.
if its albedo is that dark, we should be able to see the hole in the sky as it occludes stars in the background.
maybe its cause i was born in MO but 'show me' anything i can measure or quantify.  I have a hard time with 'believe me cause i say so'.  Oh well, if i'm wrong, just change my name to Thomas.

I tell ya, and you don't believe me.  This is where it starts.  Sometimes you just need to trust me.

BLACK HOLE SUN: Massive black hole 100,000 times bigger than the SUN discovered at centre of the Milky Way

The newly-discovered void could help scientists unravel the creation of stars - and even life itself

AN immense black hole 100,000 times bigger than the sun has been discovered at the heart of the Milky Way.

The enormous void, which lies around 25,000 light years from Earth, could help scientists uncover the how stars, galaxies and even life itself came to be in the universe.

Japanese astronomers discovered the immense black hole lying near the heart of the Milky Way

Supermassive black holes are said to fuel the birth of stars and influence space-time itself.

According to reports, this newly-discovered black hole could rank as the second largest ever seen in the Milky Way.

Despite its immense size, scientists have called it a "mini me" version of its super-massive "cousin" known as Sagittitarius A*.

Each black hole is deemed to be the driving force of a galaxy's evolution.

A black hole is a region of space that has such an extremely powerful gravitational field that it absorbs all the light that passes near it and reflects none.

Studies predict there are 100 million to one billion black holes looming in the Milky Way - but only 60 or so have been identified so far.

The black hole has been placed in the intermediate-sized class, as it's smaller than its super-massive cousin

Japanese astronomers found the new black hole looming in a cloud of gas - 16,4000 feet above sea level in the Andes, northern Chile.

Professor Tomoharu Oka, of Keio University in Japan, said the existence of black holes like the new discovery are widely accepted, but their origins remain unknown.

This new finding could increase the number of other black hole candidates, he added.

Ultimately this vast entity is set to make a "considerable contribution to the progress of modern physics".

Despite their widespread existence, the concept of a black hole has only been around for 100 years.

The term was not used until 1967, and only 46 years ago the first void was identified.

Keep the beer cold and popcorn in a sack.  It will get plenty warm to pop in right there on the roof.

if my crusty rusty memory serves, wasn't it supposed to hit every year for the last 6 or 7 years?

Don't know.  But if so, the odds are so strong its gotta come this year.  If it doesn't, might just give up and blow ourselves up on Labor Day next year.
