"There's a chance that the world, maybe even the universe, could be swallowed by a black whole this summer." This was the first sentence of the article, and it definitely caught my eye. However, the whole article was filled with jargon about physics and space and black holes. Although it was written for a local newspaper, the language used in the article could have been in a scholarly reviewed journal. It was way over my head and not efficient at presenting information at all. When trying to explain complicated subjects, the author needs to keep in mind the audience's knowledge of the subject, which this author did not do.

This sounds like it could've been a very interesting article. Its too bad the author tried to sound very intelligent, so much that he actually dumbed his own article down.
