NASA celebrates Black Hole Week from May 1 to May 5, 2023. It is considered a cosmic object in the universe. We still do not understand the phenomenon of a black hole. It is considered a cosmic object in the universe. We still do not understand the phenomenon of a black hole. It is a huge, concentric circle of very tiny spaces.
The surface of the black hole is called the event horizon; it is dense and makes up the boundary matter that makes up the black hole. It is strong enough that no light or nothing can pass.
It’s surrounded by rings of gas and dust, known as “accretion discs,” which emit light across many wavelengths, including X-rays.
A black hole’s intense gravity can cause stars to orbit in a particular way.
When huge objects accelerate through space, they create ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves.
Features
Facts The closest black hole, called 1A 06200-00, is 3,000 light-years away.
The farthest point, called QSO J0313-1806, is around 13 billion light-years away.
The biggest, Tonné 618, tips the scales at 66 billion times the sun’s mass.
Smallest: The lightest-known black hole is only 3.8 times the mass of the Sun. It’s paired up with a star.
Spin, named GRS 1915+105, clocks in at over 1,000 rotations per second.
Particle accelerators: with the speed of light
Gravity’s the same: when we replaced the sun with a black hole of the same mass, the solar system would get a lot colder, but the planets would stay in their same orbits.
