Horizon (doc production company) did a programme for the BBC recently called Who's Afraid of a Big Black Hole? It's on iplayer (if you're in the UK). It featured a section with Shep Doeleman who is working at MIT Haystack trying to image our SMBH. I believe he is still developing the "telescope" to do so (i.e. using a super computer to correlate the data readings of telescopes all across the US to form one very high definition image).
Below someone asked about impact velocity of an object falling into the central black hole. Any object approaching the singularity would have its velocity approach the speed of light.
@Alexanddria For something to fall into a black hole, it must pass the event horizon. A planet can literally orbit a black hole without it having any diverse effect on it's orbit. A black hole with the relative mass of our sun would still function as the anchor of orbit for the planets, albeit, there would be no light, no warmth, and no life. ;)
gives me chills! How sad it is we will not unravel the mysteries of timely space travel in my life. It makes life after death so much more important, because we can not find the answers to so many difficult questions in one terribly short human life. And I have far too many unanswered questions. Perhaps others have asked dome of the same questions, like why are we here, not just we but me (you) in particular? What is life all about and if life from elsewhere in the galaxy been discovered, why hasn't it been shouted from the roof tops? Why the secrecy? If you have answers to any of these questions, please share them. Thanks
What's really amazing and a good way to view the density of black holes is to look into earth mass black holes. An earth mass black hole which is a black hole with the same weight as the earth is only 1/3rd of an inch across! Think about that. Mount Everest compacted into the density of a black hole would be the size of an hydrogen atom!
I read they are trying to image the actual event horizon in the radio spectrum. So what does that mean? Does this mean an image that you can actually SEE an event horizon? A big black ball in the middle of an accretion disk?
i calculated with g(star)=fn*m/r^2 that an object in that distance has an acceleration of less than 1 m/s ^2 (r is 2.5 e13 meters) the acceleration on the surface (r is the distance mercury-sun) is about 157740 m/s^2 what would be the maximum speed of an object having an impact on the black mass giant???

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I believe that is more or less correct. The event horizon, if successfully imaged, would probably appear as a small region of little or no visibility. Would be very cool to see, hope they succeed. :)
if the diameter of the orbit is 2 light days as seen in 2:22, how long does one trip around the black hole take? this has to be much shorter than a mans lifetime (for example no one observed the trip of jupiter but calculated it) =means the incrediiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiible mass of the black hole.
The Electric Universe theories explain how massive the electrical forces are and how much stronger (10^38 times) they are compared to gravity. The shape of galaxies is not consistent with the weak weak weak weak weak force of gravity.
@phoenixangel1120 Geologists have used earthquakes to study the Earth's interior. Same goes for the Moon, and even the Sun! Check wikipedia's entry on the Structure of the Earth
seemingly the most logical place to look for intelligence, or the 'inter-species meeting place', or perhaps the source of consciousness?, who among us can know such things.
+phillip harden. Why r we here lifes purpose, soul mission.~ Blue Ray. My opinion: To help, love, save & protect Gaia, Sky, inner mother earth, the Devic kingdom, humanity, and the Universe ! thats all♡Namaste.
@bygota described by newton as an equilibrium between gravity and escape forces. but if i would explain this to everyone i would be einstein. a physical figure was thus named by newton

Thanks for creating & sharing So very cool. Thanks again. Namaste.

@kamikazeboy123 It's going to suck up "S2" mentioned later in the video. The rest of the stars are merely orbiting for the time being.
-Max
@NYCZ31 Exactly. They need 2x the resolution they have now and they'll be able to see it.
-Max
@zdrastvutye The orbit of the S2 star is 15.56 years. Astronomers have observed it complete a full orbit

i calculated with g(star)=fn*m/r^2 that an object in that distance has an
acceleration of less than 1 m/s ^2 (r is 2.5 e13 meters)
the acceleration on the surface (r is the distance mercury-sun) is about 157740 m/s^2 what would be the maximum speed of an object having an impact on the black mass giant???
That beat at 0:38 Hhahahahaha lol make me laugh So hard so funny :)) A beat from the late 70's LOL

Funky music sounds cool but would be nice to have a narration as to what we are seeing!

love the video really good
Did you meet The Grox on the way there?
fantastic... isnt S2 feeding the black hole ?

so what is happening at 1:20?is black hole sucking up all those stars??

@Alexanddria They're orbiting it. But, eventually they'd fall into it. All of them.

black holes are nothing to fear.
its like fearing the sun because its a giant nuclear reactor.
I love 銀河系
