Scary shit: First pictures of the Black Hole thats eating our galaxy
 

Looking straight into the mouth of the beast:

run for the hills were all doomed! :1orglaugh

kinda tough getting a pic looking into a black hole...

when the sun explodes in 6 years we'll have sufficient light to make it out more clearly....

Since light cannot escape a blackhole.

:winkwink:

someone understands j/k

Hold on to your little gonads.....and strife.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Im holdin! :thumbsup

Take the photo from the other side.

Plenty of light there.

OKay, black holes do not "suck" or eat anything. For an example, if the sun overnight turned into a black hole (wouldnt happen, but just pretend) the orbits of the planets would remain the same. Its a mass that has colapsed on itself, it doesnt suck light into it, it just doesnt let light out.

black holes are pink on the inside

Fuck, beat me to it.

:winkwink:

Not exactly, everything which is within the Event Horizon (I hope I´ve translated that the right way) would be "sucked" towards the center of the black hole, even light

Black holes might not be so black.

There is a theory called Hawking Radiation. The idea is that particles and anti-particle pairs are being created all the time. They usually annihilate each other real fast (Quantum mechanics).

Right at the event horizon of black holes though one of the pairs goes into the black hole and the other races away. So in theory, we should be able to observe hawking radiation coming from the event horizon.

Also, there are some observations of what are believed to be (probably rotating) black holes shooting out jets of matter thousands of light years in length parallel to the axis of rotation. As far as I know the mechanics of how this jet is formed are not well understood.

Stephen Hawking = great reading. 1 very very smart little guy.

and a dope gangsta rapper too.

That wheel-chair guy?

The best topic I ever read on GFY.Thanks for great joke

How much of a fucking geek am I? I actually laughed out loud at this joke.
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yeah, he pioneered Gangsta Physics... Straight Out of the Event Horizon, Yo!

BitchSlappin' the Uncertainty Principle, Yo!

Proper!

Werd!
