#blackhole — Public Fediverse posts

"We've never seen a black hole – so can we ever really know what they are?" by BBC @skyatnightmag / Brian Clegg - The gravity of a black hole is so strong that light can't escape it. So there's nothing to see or take pictures of. Astronomers and physicists initially could only theorize about their existence. Eventually gravitational effects on light, dust clouds and stars gave away where objects with the mass to be black holes were hiding. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/weve-never-seen-a-black-hole #astronomy #BlackHole #science

A 'forbidden' merger in the pair-instability mass gap?! Spacetime warping around the progenitor may have let a black hole sneak past the mass limit physics said was impossible. My brain is doing backflips 🌀🕳️

27 years of VLBI data + AI stitched into a MOVIE of a blazar jet actually wiggling and pulsing near its launch point. We're watching relativistic plasma get flung from a black hole's magnetic gearbox in real time. 🤯

We think of black holes as being some elder gods of death...but really, wouldn't their accretion disks' light be the most atmospheric place life could possibly bloom?

🎉 Wow, congrats! Now you can have a "physically accurate" black hole right next to your #Ikea furniture. 🙄 Just what your room was missing: a science project masquerading as #decor, courtesy of Synchray.jl. Just don't expect it to clean up your mess or suck in any actual intelligence. 🌀

Wouldn't it be amazing to visit a region of space where not a sun like ours, but rather something like *this* was the point of light around which all world orbit? Makes you think, doesn't it...

The Star That Jumped Through Time 🌟⏳

Imagine finding a modern artifact inside an ancient fossil—that is the level of scientific paradox recently discovered by the Gaia telescope. Astronomers have spotted a red giant star orbiting the black hole Gaia BH2 that simply shouldn't exist as it currently does.

Here's my latest space simulation video! I haven't really done much with orbital decay before so this was interesting! Once again, I've added a soundtrack to my video, no VFX this time though. That's because it already looked very cool! Because of how the video was rendered, the accretion disk has this interesting sparkling effect.

Artist's illustrations of #BlackHoles often have this characteristic ring which is in front of the #BlackHole and continues "above". This ring is an #AccretionDisk made of hot matter on an orbit of the black hole. The strange shape of this ring is due to light bending by the black hole's incredible strong gravitation, which makes something which is *behind* the black hole appear to be above it. [1/3]

The matryoshka nesting of black holes echoes the evolutionary drive to maximize information storage contained within a diminishing volume of space as in folded crenulations in the human brain.

Perhaps there could be parallels in how information and physical states are conceptualized at their boundaries?

Gravity Waves Rock The Galaxy

Scientists report evidence that the whole universe around us is awash in the quiet background vibration of gravitational waves.

Scientists are starting to sense a kind of gravitational wave they've been spent 15 years searching for--and it's really big. The rumbling waves could be created by supermassive black holes, ones that can be billions of times more massive than our sun and that lurk in the centers of galaxies.
