What did they show? You've seen so many black hole documentaries, I'm thinking if you've seen one, you've seen them all. They all say the same thing, don't they?

This one had a lot of really cool special effects. Well, they're kind of similar, but no one really knows much about them, so there are all kinds of theories about them. So, each documentary is going to be a little different. They showed what it would look like if our solar system was really close to the one in the center of our galaxy. That was really creepy, because it showed what we normally would see at night, but everything was much brighter because of the amount of stars in the center. Then, sometimes you would be able to see the black hole itself and everything swirling around it. You know how the Earth rotates on its axis, but it looks as though the Sun is rising and setting? Well, according to some astrophysicists that's what it would look like sometimes. Creepy, creepy, creepy. Obsessed, obsessed, obsessed.
