Interesting Facts About Black Holes
Corbin J. H. PD.8
. . . 2 . . . A black hole is the remnants of colossal stars that have imploded in a supernova, the immense gravity and pressure compressing the matter to subatomic levels, creating a black hole afterwards. The intense gravity the black hole exerts on other objects pulls them in and a process through which the object travels at the speed of light into a black hole is call spaghettification, then an after-image of that object is formed by the luxons which are being pulled in.
. . . 3 . . . Black holes can be located and "viewed" by the infinitely hot rings of plasma orbiting it, which comes from celestial stars, as they release large amounts of radiation created by temporary nuclear reactions around the black hole. These reactions and rings of plasma produce waves of gamma, infrared, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation from them, allowing black holes to be coordinated and studied.
. . . 4 . . . Any particle that has mass, is affected by gravity, and/or has a speed lower or equal to that of a luxon cannot escape the intense gravity of black holes. This means it may be billions of years for any way of escape to be created, so black holes are the most dangerous astronomical object in the universe as of now.
. . . 5 . . . These incognito astronomical gravity wells are frustrating for astronomers as they remain anonymous to every way of identifying them. The benefit of this information can get you closer to a career such as an astronomer, as they deal with and think about the unknown, deciphering the universe for knowledge.
