RE: Scientists Reveal The First Ever Image of A Black Hole
Hey, @sauravrungta.
So, that's not scary or anything (size of 6.5 billion suns).
It's a good thing it's not anywhere near us, but then, I guess Sagittarius "A" is close enough.
It is pretty interesting how they were able to do this through many telescopes around the world training on it.
Have you heard about what other projects they might use this technique for, or is it exclusively to see blackholes with? I would think with an eye the size of a planet (figuratively speaking), we could see all sorts of things. :)
Yeah, it's amazing how they were able to leverage many telescopes to get a photo.
Right now, I've only read that they will be trying to get better photos and also a photo of Sagittarius A*.
I think it's something definitely worth keeping an eye on. The better they get at this, the clearer images become, the more there might actually be. The issue is always going to be light, and if it's just a whole in space, that's harder to convey. It would be horrifying, in my opinion, to run across one of those things after it was too late and know you were being sucked into it, virtually no matter what.
Yeah, it would be great to get higher resolution images.
I don't think it would be too late to know about a black hole that was sucking us. In fact, if the Sun was replaced by a black hole of the same mass, all the planets would simply continue to revolve around it.
I suppose as far as rotating around our now blackhole sun, such a thing might be possible since we're so many million miles away, but then, of course, we'd be faced with another problem, no sun, so as far as having any warning about the blackhole, we'd be pretty much dead, anyway. :)
