With this simulation, viewers can plunge into the event horizon, the boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman from\u00a0NASA&#8217;s\u00a0Goddard Space Flight Centre led the project\u00a0in collaboration\u00a0with scientist Brian Powell. The project uses the &#8216;Discover supercomputer&#8217; and generates vast\u00a0amounts of\u00a0data.\u00a0The destination is a supermassive black hole, similar to the one at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, with\u00a0a mass\u00a0millions of 4.3 million times more\u00a0than that of\u00a0our Sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What do you see when you enter a black hole?<\/h2>\n<p>Approaching the black hole from 400 million miles away, viewers see dramatic distortions in space-time. The surrounding accretion disk &#8212; a swirling mass of hot gas &#8212; and background stars appear significantly warped, like looking at a funhouse mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the camera gets closer, the light from stars and the swirling disk of gas around the black hole looks brighter and brighter, like the roar of a race car getting louder as it speeds by.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"360 Video: NASA Simulation Shows a Flight Around a Black Hole\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dGEIsnBRWGs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It takes about 3 hours for the camera to get to the event horizon, but\u00a0to someone watching from far away,\u00a0it seems like the camera never quite reaches it.\u00a0The closer it gets, the slower it appears to move until it looks like it has stopped altogether.<\/p>\n<p>In the simulation, there are two possible outcomes for\u00a0NASA&#8217;s\u00a0camera.\u00a0In one scenario, it narrowly misses the event horizon, while\u00a0in the other,\u00a0it crosses over this boundary.\u00a0If the camera crosses this line, it goes through a dramatic process called\u00a0&#8220;spaghettification&#8221;,\u00a0<wbr\/>which means the intense gravitational forces near the black hole will pull on the camera so\u00a0strongly\u00a0that it will get stretched and torn apart within 12.8 seconds.\u00a0This\u00a0happens as it speeds towards the black\u00a0hole&#8217;s\u00a0core, where there is a point of unimaginable density called the\u00a0\u201csingularity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, in an alternative scenario where the camera orbits close to the event horizon but does not cross it, time will start acting strangely. It will stretch or dilate. For the astronaut on the camera, time ticks away as usual. But for those watching from far away, time appears to slow down. This time-dilation effect means that when the astronaut returns, they will actually be younger than their colleagues who stayed far from the black hole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/science\/nasas-latest-simulation-allows-us-to-see-whats-inside-black-holes-5607017\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Approaching the black hole from 400 million miles away, viewers see dramatic distortions in space-time.
