Milky Way 'tastes of raspberries and smells of rum'

[Christa]

The centre of the Milky Way galaxy tastes of raspberry and tastes of rum according to astonomers.

Scientists have found a molecule called ethyl formate which gives raspberries their flavour - and rum its smell.

Astronomer Arnaud Belloche told the Sun: "It does happen to give raspberries their flavour - but there are many other molecules that are needed to make space raspberries."

5. I thought there was a supermassive black hole there?

Most galaxies, including our own, are thought to have supermassive black holes at the core. The gravitational attraction of a black hole is so great that even yummy raspberry flavour can't escape. Don't try to lick a black hole: it won't end well.

11. The Milky Way responds to astronomer Arnaud Belloche's taunt ...

"I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"
