Although the black hole is headed roughly in our direction, it is at a "safe" distance

Astronomers have spied a black hole that is speeding through our galaxy dragging and feeding on an old star as it goes.

The object's velocity has been measured at more than 400,000 kilometres per hour, good evidence say the astronomers that it is the accelerated "debris" of a stellar explosion, or supernova.
