In another example of casual cosmic malevolence, astronomers published a movie last month of what they said was a black hole shooting blobs of electrified gas and energy into space at almost the speed of light.
From a distance — quite a distance, of some 10,000 light-years — the black hole looked like a cosmic pop gun, propelling puffs of light across the sky. Up close … well you wouldn't want to be up close, as clouds of sterilizing radiation a trillion miles wide swept by.
Not to change the topic here:
Visit the Milky Way's supermassive black hole with 'Galactic Center VR' visualization (video) |
A new virtual reality experience lets you fly closely, but safely, towards the supermassive black hole embedded in the heart of our galaxy, the Milky Way .
The "adventure" visualization is called Galactic Center VR and is based on data from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory , as well as other telescopes. The latest iteration allows viewers to see 500 years of evolution at Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the black hole in the Milky Way's Center. You can view the experience for free from Steam or Vivepoint .
Black Hole Seen Blasting Out Jets at Close to the Speed of Light - Universe Today
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has spotted a distant black hole shooting out jets of material, at close to the speed of light. No worries, this beast is about 10,000 light years away from us. It’s more of a spectacle than a danger.

I know what you might be thinking. Some version of “I thought nothing could escape a black hole?” You’re right, nothing can. But this material isn’t acually coming out of the black hole. It’s coming from the material circling around the black hole and being heated by that motion.
Unemployment, Protests, Black Hole: Your Friday Evening Briefing - The New York Times
The U.S. added millions of jobs in May , reversing some of the losses from pandemic-induced layoffs, with significant gains in sectors including restaurants, construction, retail and health services.
The data suggests that reopened states and cities allowed some businesses to bring back furloughed employees. Still, the unemployment rate, which fell to 13.3 percent from 14.7 percent in April, remains higher than in any recent recession, with tens of millions of people out of work.
This may worth something:
The Unexpected Reason Why The Smallest Black Holes Bend Space The Most
An illustration of heavily curved spacetime for a point mass, which corresponds to the physical ... [+] scenario of being located outside the event horizon of a black hole. As you get closer and closer to the mass's location in spacetime, space becomes more severely curved, eventually leading to a location from within which even light cannot escape: the event horizon.
One of the most mind-bending concepts about the Universe itself is that gravity isn't due to some unseen, invisible force, but comes about because the matter and energy in the Universe bends and distorts the very fabric of space itself. Matter and energy tell space how to curve; that curved space lays out the path upon which matter and energy move. The distance between two points isn't a straight line, but a curve determined by the fabric of space itself.
Supermassive Black Holes Feast Under Pressure
It has been known for some time that when distant galaxies — and the supermassive black holes within their cores — aggregate into clusters, these clusters create a volatile, highly pressurized environment. Individual galaxies falling into clusters are often deformed during the process and begin to resemble cosmic jellyfish.
The researchers also suggested this rapid feeding might be responsible for the eventual lack of new stars in those environments. The research team said “outflows” of gas, driven by the black holes, might be shutting off star formation.
Scientists Apply Revolutionary 30 Year-Old Principle and Find Black Holes Could Be Like Holograms
What researchers have done is apply the theory of the holographic principle to black holes. In this way, their mysterious thermodynamic properties have become more understandable: focusing on predicting that these bodies have a great entropy and observing them in terms of quantum mechanics, you can describe them just like a hologram: they have two dimensions, in which gravity disappears, but they reproduce an object in three dimensions.
According to new research, black holes could be like a hologram, where all the information is amassed in a two-dimensional surface able to reproduce a three-dimensional image.
