Black Holes A Phenomenon

 Black Holes

Black holes, black holes, black holes are amazing things, I guess today we'll talk about that! Well, let's begin!!






Intro

Ok, Ahem! A black hole is an extremely powerful object in space/astronomy, that there are tons of mass. And have astounding gravitational fields, but first, this might pop you with a lot of questions. Like, how do black holes form? How many types of Black holes are there? Is it dangerous? Who found black holes?

Who found black holes?

Roger  Penrose and Albert Einstein proved that black holes existed. Albert Einstein knew that there is a black hole by using his general theory of relativity. Roger Penrose discovered and revealed that black holes exist by spectating quantum physics and relativity. 


A Dangerous Phenomenon

Is a black hole dangerous? Indeed, it is a very treacherous thing in space. In fact, we can't escape from it, not even the speedy light! Wowsers! There was an astrophysics theory called "spaghettification". This theory was founded by Stephen Hawking, an astrophysicist that this theory was basically about that when an object enters the singularity (the center part of the black hole) or goes beyond it, it will stretch like spaghetti, and it is surely painful. So that's why it's called that.


Types of Black Holes

There are four types of these menacing black holes.

1. Stellar Black Holes: They're very, very, very important to space because they send atoms that help form new stars. Although they are very complicated to detect with our satellites


2. Intermediate Black Holes: These black holes are more solar masses than stellar black holes and have lower solar masses than a Supermassive Black hole.


3. Supermassive Black Holes: They have extremely impressive gravity and are usually at the center of the galaxy to hold up trillions of stars, solar systems, stellar nurseries, planets, and more! 


4. Miniature Black Holes: Just by seeing the name, you could see that these black holes are small, and you are right!!


How is a black hole formed?

A black hole is formed when a star dies and a star explosion happens. This is called a supernova. And then it will either form in a black hole, pulsar/neutron star, or a dwarf. In this case, a black hole. 


And that's how it forms!!


Thank you!

Space Shuttle 🚀: The World's First Reusable Spacecraft Missions Hello Everyone! 👋 Today, I'm talking about one of the most important missions: The Space Shuttle! Without further ado, let's begin! Introduction  The Space Shuttle was the world’s first reusable spacecraft and the first spacecraft to carry large satellites to and from orbit. It launches like a rocket, maneuvers in Earth orbit like a spacecraft, and lands like an airplane. The Space Shuttle consists of three major components: the Orbiter which houses the crew, a large External Tank that holds fuel for the main engines, and two Solid Rocket Boosters which provide most of the Shuttle’s lift during the first two minutes of flight. All components are reused except for the external fuel tank, which burns up in the atmosphere after each launch.  The Shuttle has the most reliable launch record of any rocket now in operation. Since 1981, it has boosted more than 1.36 million kilograms (3 million pounds) of cargo into

Aquarius: NASA's First Ocean Salinity Observations Hello Everyone! Today we are talking about one of the first missions of NASA to observe ocean surface salinity. 😊 Did you know that an Aquarius is a constellation and a zodiac sign (My zodiac sign is an Aquarius!!!)? Let's dive in! 🌊 Introduction The Aquarius/SAC-D mission was an instrument for mapping ocean surface salinity, providing important information into Earth's water cycle and ocean circulation. Scientists can better understand how freshwater moves between the ocean and the atmosphere by studying ocean surface salinity. The Aquarius mission was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on June 10, 2011, and placed into a 657 km (408 mi) Sun-synchronous orbit. The mission was a collaboration between NASA and CONAE, with participation from Brazil, Canada, France, and Italy. The data collected by Aquarius during its mission provided a clearer picture of how the ocean works, how it's linked to climate

Space News: NASA Finds Details about Strange Space Signals

Space News: NASA Finds Details about Strange Signals Have you ever heard of fast radio bursts? They're these fascinating pulses of radio waves that come from way out in space. Scientists have been studying them for a while, and they're still a bit of a mystery. The thing is, these bursts are incredibly powerful and brief, which makes it really hard to figure out where they're coming from. But in recent years, astronomers have made some big strides in understanding these strange bursts, and they're getting closer to figuring out their true origins. In 2020, a fast radio burst – originating from a magnetar – was detected in Earth's home galaxy. Magnetars are the collapsed remains of exploded stars that are extremely dense objects. In October 2022, the same magnetar, known as SGR 1935+2154, produced another fast radio burst that was studied by NASA's NICER and NuSTAR telescopes. These telescopes observed the magnetar before and after the burst and caught a glimpse
