This article talks about the risks Earth is recently taking. Black Holes in the Milky Way are colliding causing extremely lethal gamma ray blasts. However we are very fortunate to not be showered by these. Also it tells us recently a lot of stars have blown up causing  meteor showers. They predict a meteor crashed to sun causing it to blow up. This article takes place in space and talks about stars and Black Holes. The article was written by the Science Daily Team but the Author is Anonymous. In the picture below you can see a Black Hole eating a neutron star. 
In my opinion this article is very informative because it keeps us updated with recent things in the Galaxy.I chose this article because it sounded really interesting to me. This article is from a reliable source because it is very detailed and sounds like it is written from a expert. This article makes me feel depressed because it shows things in our galaxy are slowly dying out. I think this article can  have bad effects on society because it might scare them that we could be attacked by a meteor shower!

  3. Which sun are you talking about? Gamma ray bursts occur sometimes from our sun, but we are protected by the magnetic field that surrounds Earth. This is an interesting article and you included some major details, but I feel that more information is needed in order to not confuse your readers. Be sure you are clear between sentences because you went from gamma ray bursts to stars dying and to black holes and then meteor showers.
