The video, created by NASA's Jeremy Schnittman and Brian Powell, begins with a camera view floating toward a black hole. As the camera approaches, it orbits around the black hole
NASA has created a visualization of what it would be like to fly through the event horizon of a black hole, the agency announced Tuesday. The simulation was posted to YouTube and includes several videos: one in which an observer just misses the “point of no return,
Light famously cannot escape the event horizon of a black hole, leaving astrophysicists to theorize and speculate what it’s like beyond the limits of human perception. Now, NASA researchers take that theorization a step further,
At the center of the Milky Way galaxy exists a supermassive black hole that's more than four million times the mass of the sun. A human traveling to the black hole's surface, known as the event horizon and point of no return,
NASA’s supercomputer has produced cutting-edge visualizations that allow viewers to plunge into the event horizon — the point at which a black hole’s gravitational pull becomes irresistible. The visualizations were created by astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
Astronomers have discovered black holes ranging from a few times the sun's mass to tens of billions. Now a group of scientists has predicted that NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could find a class of "featherweight" black holes that has so far eluded detection.
