It can't be that ravenous if it's barfing all the time, or is this a bulimic black hole?

Wow, I never see NGC 4945 pop up in the news, science or otherwise. I looked at it as part of my undergraduate thesis 20 years ago, so I'm always keeping an eye out for it, and almost every time I get a ping it turns out to be M88 or the Sculptor galaxy.

This is fun!
