   What's amazing about this isn't witnessing the phenomenon, it's that   
   gradually our notion of how planets form and galaxies are born (etc.)   
   are being confirmed via observation.  Cool to think some of our theories   
   are correct.  If we could only get to the bottom of that pesky, 'dark   
   matter' problem though ...  and what about this new notion that quantum   
   entanglement is possibly stable/consistent even over an event horizon.   
   Now what?
