Astronomers have found supermassive black holes in most galaxies. These weigh in at millions or billions of times the mass of the Sun, but only a few of them are “active” at any one time. To be an active galactic nucleus (AGN), the black hole has to collect a lot of gas around it, where it heats up and glows brightly.Solitary black holes can generally only be detected by measuring their gravitational distortion of the light from more distant objects. As of February 2022, only one isolated black hole has been confirmed, OGLE-2011-BLG-0462, around 5,200 light-years away.White holes are the opposite of black holes, in that they spit out light and matter, rather than trapping it. So far, white holes are purely hypothetical objects, but astronomers are contemplating how they could form in reality.
Where do black holes take you : When matter falls into or comes closer than the event horizon of a black hole, it becomes isolated from the rest of space-time. It can never leave that region. For all practical purposes the matter has disappeared from the universe.
Are we living in a black hole
Earth is not just tucked into a planet-size black hole or even one the size of the solar system. If that were the case, scientists would have noticed, Field told Live Science. There would be observable signatures of the black hole's spinning.
Does black hole exist now : Supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses ( M ☉) may form by absorbing other stars and merging with other black holes, or via direct collapse of gas clouds. There is consensus that supermassive black holes exist in the centres of most galaxies.
The only way Earth could be swallowed by a black hole would be if our planet happened to stray across a wandering black hole's event horizon. That's something that is not going to happen any time soon, and likely never will. A Q-star, also known as a grey hole, is a hypothetical type of a compact, heavy neutron star with an exotic state of matter. Such a star can be smaller than the progenitor star's Schwarzschild radius and have a gravitational pull so strong that some light, but not all photons, can escape.
Do wormholes exist
Einstein's theory of general relativity mathematically predicts the existence of wormholes, but none have been discovered to date. A negative mass wormhole might be spotted by the way its gravity affects light that passes by.Fortunately, this has never happened to anyone — black holes are too far away to pull in any matter from our solar system. But scientists have observed black holes ripping stars apart, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy.But creating a black hole with even a microscopic event horizon would require billions of times more energy than the LHC is able to produce. And even if it could produce such a black hole, that object would quickly lose energy and dissipate in the blink of an eye. Despite their abundance, there is no reason to panic: black holes will not devour Earth nor the Universe. It is incredibly unlikely Earth would fall into a black hole because, at a distance, their gravitational pull is no more compelling than a star of the same mass.
Is black hole dying : So, to put it simply, black holes do die, but very slowly and in a very strange way. They die by emitting Hawking radiation, which is a quantum phenomenon that occurs near the event horizon of a black hole. Hawking radiation causes the black hole to lose mass and energy, and eventually explode in a final burst.
Are we safe from black holes : Since this black hole already weighs a few million times the mass of the Sun, there will only be small increases in its mass if it swallows a few more Sun-like stars. There is no danger of the Earth (located 26,000 light years away from the Milky Way's black hole) being pulled in.
Is space infinite
Cosmologists aren't sure if the universe is infinitely big or just extremely large. To measure the universe, astronomers instead look at its curvature. The geometric curve on large scales of the universe tells us about its overall shape. If the universe is perfectly geometrically flat, then it can be infinite. At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. It turns out that this is only true for a few of them: most have the wrong colours to be expained by this.Green Holes are special types of star that are so rare! Green holes form if black holes don't lose mass or only lose a ton of mass in a billion years! That happens if the star is super massive, like a hypergiant or a metagiant.
Has anyone been in a black hole : Fortunately, this has never happened to anyone — black holes are too far away to pull in any matter from our solar system. But scientists have observed black holes ripping stars apart, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy.
