    From a distance, our galaxy would look like a flat spiral, some 100,000 light years across, with pockets of gas, clouds of dust, and about 400 billion stars rotating around the galaxys center. Thick dust and blinding starlight have long obscured our vision into the mysterious inner regions of the galactic center. And yet, the clues have been piling up, that something important, something strange is going on in there. Astronomers tracking stars in the center of the galaxy have found the best proof to date that black holes exist. Now, they are shooting for the first direct image of a black hole.
    From a distance, our galaxy would look something like this.
    A flat spiral, some 100,000 light years across, with pockets of gas, clouds of dust, and about 400 billion stars rotating around the galaxy's center.
    That center -- bulging up and out of the galactic disk -- is tightly packed with stars.
    Thick dust and blinding starlight have long obscured our vision into the mysterious inner regions of this so-called "bulge."
    And yet, the clues have been piling up, that something important...something strange... is going on in there.
    The first to take notice was the physicist Karl Jansky back in the 1930s.
    He was asked by his employer, Bell Telephone Labs, to investigate sources of static that might interfere with what it saw as the killer app of its time... radio voice transmissions.
    Using this ungainly radio receiver... Jansky methodically scanned the airwaves. He documented thunderstorms, near and far... and another signal he could not explain.
    It sounded like steam -- a hiss of radio noise. Jansky narrowed it to a spot in the constellation of Sagittarius, in the direction of the center of the galaxy.
    Located within a larger pattern of radio emissions... ... Jansky's sighting would become known as Sagittarius A*.
    The word of Jansky's finding got out. He assured the public that it was not aliens seeking contact.
    But that's just about all anyone could say... for over three decades.
    Then Erik Becklin got on the case.
    Becklin is one of those rare researchers whose curiosity and determination push our understanding to a whole new level.
    It was the 1960's and astronomy, like society, was in a period of ferment. Startling new observations were being made... and new interpretations were in the air.
    Quasars had just been discovered... extremely bright beacons of light from deep space. Were they coming from the centers of distant galaxies? And what powerful objects were generating them?
    To study an event at the center of a galaxy, you have locate it. Young Becklin first took aim at our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda.
    In ultraviolet light, you can see a dense glow in the middle. Becklin found the point where the light reaches peak intensity... and marked it as the Center.
    From our orientation in space, all of the Andromeda galaxy is in full view.
    But our galaxy is a different story. We live inside it, of course. Becklin had to find a way to see through all the dust and gas that obscure our line of sight into the center. So he went to a military contractor...
    ...and obtained a device that reads infrared light... whose wavelengths are similar to the distances between particles in a dust cloud, allowing them to move right through.
    Becklin began measuring the brightness of the light as it rose to a peak... marking the location of the galactic center.
    Pinpointing this site would now allow astronomers to begin probing for details with a new generation of powerful telescopes... to peer into the bright lights... the forbidden zones... deep in the heart of the Milky Way.
    Becklin wasn't the only astronomer interested in the galactic center.
    Reinhardt Genzel, and a team based at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany, began a similar campaign in 1990... from the New Technology Telescope in the mountains of Chile.
    A few years later, in 1993, high atop Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano...
    Eric Becklin and colleagues, including Andrea Ghez, began using the newly christened Keck Telescope. The American and German groups shared the same goal... to pinpoint the precise location of Sagittarius A*, and find out what it is.
    Because the object is too small to see... at 26,000 light years away... they would study it by tracking the orbits of stars around it.
    Even seeing them would take the sensitivity of Keck's wide aperture; an instrument powerful enough to detect a single candle flame at the distance of the moon...
    Meanwhile, using a similar technique, astronomers had focused the new Hubble Space Telescope on a different galaxy... a giant elliptical cloud of nearly a billion stars, lying some 50 million light years away called M87.

      Spaghettification
      In astrophysics, spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect)[1] is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) in a very strong non-homogeneous gravitational field; it is caused by extreme tidal forces. In the most extreme cases, near black holes, the stretching is so powerful that no object can withstand it, no matter how strong its components. Within a small region the horizontal compression balances the vertical stretching so that small objects being spaghettified experience no net change in volume

      no they are not real or a proven concept in physics, because they published a composite pic of a torus shaped dusty plasma thing. this concept is most likely not real, Wolfgang Kundt who studied astrophysical jets and gamma ray bursts for decades states on black holes: They are a scientific error. If they existed, they would have swallowed us long ago..

We are afraid to disappear complete. So to say it is the same fear like we feel because death. The crying nightmare to get destructed.
      I so remember when I lay as a child on the back in the window and looked up to the stats! Suddenly I grew SO afraid, I had to hurry and go away. I never forget it. My mother once spent a night out when we had our vacation in Davos in Switzerland. When she came in in the morning something had changed. She spoke about the planets she had seen 'in a row, and I was just among them. We hung alone in the space in quietness'.
      She always said 'space makes me afraid', which she loved, but in that morning she really was as if she had spend the night with a mythological being or so.

    "Directly observe" and "black hole" do not belong together in a sentence. No matter what trick you're using, you're still just throwing iron filings at a magnet to see the field lines. I'll take it... Man, I grew up in a time when all these crazier things were still only theories on paper. Just having been able to see images of the stars closest to Sag A* whipping around at such insane speeds has been a real treat. NASA has brought us incredible, priceless gifts from the vast reaches of space, and also much closer to home, and now they're not even the only game in town. NASA, for the first time ever, has plenty of competition, upping the game dramatically. We do truly now live in amazing times, standing on the brink of discovering life on other worlds, cracking the deepest secrets of the universe at an ever increasing pace. The mad divergence we are now seeing between those that understand and accept, and those that freak out and deny, tells us all we need to know about what is coming. This is the modern equivalent of the Inquisition of the middle ages, where whole countries were depopulated of their young women because of fear of witches driven by jealousy and fear of loss of control, where brilliant minds were silenced and millions slaughtered because of unacceptable truths and a desperate desire to cling to dogmas and corrupt belief systems. THIS is the deep breath before the coming storm, the tipping point before we actually begin to transit from Type 0 to Type 1. Most people will be unable to move with it - the tech is moving vastly faster than our own psychological and physical evolution. Our toys are outpacing our minds, and it is terrifying to us. Me? Fuck it, I'm all in. I NEED more. I pray that there's a planet left for those of us that can handle reality after those who can't handle it get done losing their minds. I desperately want to be around to see what comes of all this. :-)

So even if we began moving towards it at the *speed of light* it would still take us 50k years to get to it. Thus there is no reason to fear black holes. But rather, to have respect of them, and respect for their awesome power

I learned before that the interstellar movie also simulated a black hole similar to this, but the colorful-ness of the black hole might confuse the audience, so they went for the more obvious way. I've been wanting to know what a "colorful" black hole might look like, and the simulation presented here is gold. I love how the visual gets distorted as the camera shifts positions

    One question, if the black hole ejects such powerful jets despite such intense gravity then why not light? We can see the jets which means they are also light... right... so why its still black.... the question may be a stupid one, but please someone answer/correct me in this regard.... :-)

    • @NightRunner417
      @NightRunner417 6 років тому +6

      It's never stupid to be curious, only stupid to turn your back on learning. I salute you for asking. :-)
      Any form of light that gets into the event horizon cannot escape, so the hole itself remains black. At the jets, however, the emissions are powerful beams of X Rays and gamma rays if I recall right. Think of it like you do infrared light. Strong IR at 10000 nanometers feels warm, but you don't actually see it. Microwaves, same thing. When the jets go off, they are very bright in x and gamma, which is where you get the terms XRB and GRB from. Someone can come correct me if I'm wrong. No flat earthers, please. I just ate.
      BTW, the science of why X and gamma specifically has to do with energy levels. Low energy events like bomb blasts and solar flares can be visible because the electron voltage is low, thus driving lower frequencies of light. Welding arcs emit fierce amounts of UV because the electron voltage is in that range, and electron tubes make X-rays because their electron voltages are in *that* range. These cosmic events deal in megavolt through gigavolt energy ranges and beyond, thus driving X, gamma and "cosmic" ray frequencies.

    • @RChalmersArchitect
      @RChalmersArchitect 6 років тому +5

      Black holes eject matter and light only during a "feeding phase". Polar jets are a byproduct of collisions which occur in the accretion disk. Once the feeding phase is over (our galaxy's supermassive black hole is quiescent just now) the black hole will revert to be being invisible, though its presence can still be inferred by its effect on other objects in line of sight (gravitational lensing) and by working out the paths of objects rotating around it.

    I think there's something wrong in how we visualize Black Holes, one being a vortex "tail" that extends in only one direction to a singularity, the other is that there is no "other side" of a black hole; the gravity and infalling matter must be equal from all directions, just as the craters on the dark side of the moon, matter must also fall upon the dark side of the black hole, that would be the other side of a "black hole". Being that we can occasionally produce and trap anti-matter in our accelerators-colliders at what must be a very low end of the energy/density scale compared to that of a black hole, I think a black hole is like another state of matter, or rather anti-matter being that light cannot escape it may be annihilating with matter, that matter is creating the anti-matter, and therefore even light cannot escape because it too is being annihilated. What is left is another form of plasma or an anti-matter soup, clearly much more super compressed in density beyond that of neutron stars, that a black hole is literally an antimatter factory. What we are seeing in the accretion disk, aside from its accelerated spin beyond what we can produce is the bulge or Torus of the black holes magnetic field, and its magnetic compression into jets. Obviously a much higher state of fusion. It's when a black holes jet's source out from the singularity, is where the vortex model disappears.

Enough plasma condensed into one location can have a pretty massive gravity signature. Black holes are non-sense. Bad math at best, because Zero and Zero do not equal infinate density.

    A Black hole is one of the few (or only, not sure) outcomes of a sun losing the battle of mass V fuel that results in a high gravitational pull, without any visible parts of itself. In a superficial sense (according to my very limited understanding), a black hole /is/ an imploded sun that no longer emits light, and now 'generates' heat through gravitational friction, rather than thermonuclear fusion.
    Don't quote me on this though, it's just my own understanding and likely to be wrong somehow!

    That's a decent theory, though, in that case, they'd only occur in the center of galaxies. Though you're right about the big things in the universe having smaller versions. The reason things tend to spin is because of a law called 'conservation of angular momentum' one small grain of dust orbiting a bigger one, the moon orbiting us, us orbiting Sol, Sol orbiting the galactic center... That's about as big as the spinning goes, though.
