Science : First image of a black hole

First image of a black hole



Astronomers have finally glimpsed the blackness of a black hole. By stringing together a global network of radio telescopes, they have for the first time produced a picture of an event horizon — a black hole’s perilous edge — against a backdrop of swirling light.

A black hole is actually invisible. The scientists added the gold orange hue because they felt it embodied the heat being generated.

Terrifying. It sucks in matter and destroys it. Probably by breaking it down into small particles. Black hole means death.

Re: First image of a black hole

Much like what new members here discover.

Wouldn't it be a cool apocolypstic movie about a huge black hole sucking everything in the pur solar system inside it?

Uh — wut? Carl Sagan needs to translate that.

Re: First image of a black hole

There's a black hole in space that keeps growing at an alarming rate. At the rate of its growth, it will consume the Milky Way (the galaxy of our solar system) in 2 years.

Wouldn't you like to see a mobie about that?

Re: First image of a black hole

Um, excuse me? Listen, sister, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is thousands of light years away. For it to consume the entire galaxy in 2 years is a literal impossability! It would have to move at speeds far exceeding the speed of light! Everyone here is laughing at you right now!

Re: First image of a black hole

How about, astronomers didn't know of this massive black hole until it was too late and now we have two years before it destroys our galaxy.

Re: First image of a black hole

Did you watch Event Horizon it sort of deals with Black Holes

Re: First image of a black hole

Anybody read Bobo's Star? It's a short story about a boy who makes a contained black hole in his bedroom for a school assignment. Eventually he gets bored with it, and starts adding a variety of things to feed it. It gets out of hand of course, and the last few sentences describe his neighborhood as it disappears into his science project. Funny, but pretty frightening too!

Re: First image of a black hole

I'm not impressed.

Hey, it's a kind of magic!

Re: First image of a black hole

That's kinda what I was thinking… ain't shit compared to the movie!
