SPACESHIP SIGHTING: "After receiving more than 16 feet of snow in the past 2 months here in Whistler, British Columbia, last night was the first clear night in 65 days," say photographers John Nemy and Carol Legate. Perfect timing. The clouds parted to reveal a beautiful flyby of the International Space Station:
"The space station popped out from behind Sproat Mountain and slowly glided over Whistler village--very pretty," say Nemy and Legate who "wish everyone up there and down here a Happy New Year."

Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Thu, 01/04/2007 - 9:06pm.Astronomers say the discovery is interesting because many doubted black holes could exist in such locations.
Some computer simulations had suggested a newly formed black hole would simply be ejected from the cluster as a result of gravitational interactions.
