Astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center led the project along with scientist Brian Powell. The help of ‘supercomputer’ was taken under the project. In this, a black hole was detected, whose center is as big as our galaxy.
It can be seen in the video that as the camera comes closer to the black hole, many dramatic distortions in space-time become visible. The stars in the background also look strange. Overall everything looks very strange. The simulation done by NASA has two possible results –
In the first scenario, NASA’s camera approaches its target, but does not move beyond a limit.
Whereas in the second scenario, that black reaches inside and goes through a process called “spaghettification”. This means that if a camera comes near the black hole, the force will pull it so fast that it will break in about 12 seconds.
Talking about other news related to black holes, just last month astronomers have discovered the largest stellar black hole in our galaxy (Milky Way). Its mass is 33 times more than that of the Sun. Stellar black holes are formed due to a star losing gravity. The name of the discovered black hole is Gaia BH3. It is 2 thousand light years away from Earth in the Aquila constellation. The telescope being used in Gaia mission can tell the exact location of stars in the sky. While studying the data that astronomers received, a black hole was discovered. It is about 33 times larger than our Sun.
