    Extractions: These lie at the centre of quasars and certain active galactic nuclei that appear to be exploding. Millions or billions of stars together with gas dust and perhaps planets can fall into the black hole and give off enormous amounts of energy. In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided conclusive evidence for the existence of a supermassive black hole at the centre of the M87 galaxy. It has a mass equal to two to three billion stars but is only as big as the solar system Stellar black holes

All distortions of images are real, both general relativistic from the gravitational bending of light, and special relativistic from the near light speed orbit. The black hole belongs to a quadruple stellar system, a binary binary. The system is fictional, but plausible.

    Extractions: Skip to Main Content Header Search Site Go! Home Big Questions Earth Heliophysics ... Focus Areas → Black Holes Don't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space. Universe Black Holes-1 Spitzer. This star-studded infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Milky Way's churning center. In this false-color image, old, cool stars appear blue, and the dust near hot, massive stars is red. Astronomers believe there is a supermassive black hole in the galaxy's core, visible here as a bright white spot. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/S. Stolovy (SSC/Caltech). Although the term was not coined until 1967 by Princeton physicist John Wheeler, the idea of an object in space so massive and dense that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, it leaves behind a small, dense remnant core. If the core's mass is more than about three times the mass of the Sun, the equations showed, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and produces a black hole.

    Extractions: S-9.Nuclear Weapons Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. On a dark night they form a glowing band across the sky"The Milky Way" to ancient Greek observers, and to us, our galaxy. When you look at any part of that glow, you are looking through the wheel edge-on, and what you actually see is the light of many, many distant stars, whose light blends to a glow. What holds the wheel together? Astronomers are still not sure (see further below), but have long suspected that a very massive black hole existed at the center of our galaxy, created early in the history of the universe. Their suspicion focused on a compact radio source, also found to emit x-rays, hidden behind dust clouds in the constellation of Sagittarius, the archer. Now we know more.

Lockwood Sahuaro High School Laying your hands on a black hole is hard (and dangerous) to do, but there are ways to understand these objects and avoid the pain of dimension-bending. A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in the second-floor bathroom at Steward Observatory, not thinking at all about astronomy or writing columns. On the stall door in front of me, written perhaps by a clever astronomy student, was an equation in bold black ink: BLACK HOLES = GOD/0. As I pondered the philosophical significance of the equation, I realized that I have never tried to bring black holes to blackboards as my column title states. One of the most esoteric and fascinating objects for students to ponder, a black hole comes with virtually no lab activities. How do you lay your hands on a black hole and survive?

    http://www.eclipse.net/~cmmiller/BH/blkbh.html
    
    Extractions: The point at the center of a black hole is called a singularity . Within a certain distance of the singularity, the gravitational pull is so strong that nothingnot even lightcan escape. That distance is called the event horizon . The event horizon is not a physical boundary but the point-of-no-return for anything that crosses it. When people talk about the size of a black hole, they are referring to the size of the event horizon. The more mass the singularity has, the larger the event horizon. The structure of a black hole is something like this: Many people think that nothing can escape the intense gravity of black holes. If that were true, the whole Universe would get sucked up. Only when something (including light) gets within a certain distance from the black hole, will it not be able to escape. But farther away, things do not get sucked in. Stars and planets at a safe distance will circle around the black hole, much like the motion of the planets around the Sun. The gravitational force on stars and planets orbiting a black hole is the same as when the black hole was a star because gravity depends on how much mass there isthe black hole has the same mass as the star, it's just compressed.

Singh (Submitted on 18 May 1998) Abstract: This article gives an elementary review of gravitational collapse and the cosmic censorship hypothesis. Known models of collapse resulting in the formation of black holes and naked singularities are summarized. These models, when taken together, suggest that the censorship hypothesis may not hold in classical general relativity. The nature of the quantum processes that take place near a naked singularity, and their possible implication for observations, is briefly discussed. Comments: 17 pages, Latex File.
