NASA's new black hole simulation is fascinating

the very first image of a black hole, obtained through the collaboration between Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), is one of the most incredible scientific achievements of the last decade. The fuzzy orange ring caught in the universe was taking an incredible amount of data and intelligence produce. It makes me feel infinitely small in an infinitely fascinating universe.

But I must be level with you. As impressive and terrifying as it is, it's not that much to watch. The new visualization of NASA, on the other hand, is fascinating.

The impressive visualization, created by Jeremy Schnittman with the help of custom software at NASA 's Goddard Space Flight Center, recalls Gargantua' s black hole in Interstellar 's crossover with the l'. EHT image and demonstrates how galactic gravity influences the influence of the space-time that surrounds them.

Black holes are extremely dense regions of space, with enormous gravitational force. It is so powerful that even light can not escape it. The gas, dust and debris driven by gravity revolve around the hole as though they were trapped in an incredibly fast and incredibly hot carousel. The carousel, a luminous halo of matter called accretion disk, is the visible part of a black hole. Depending on the angle at which we see it, our image may be significantly biased.

The visualization of NASA allows us to see the disc at the edge, so the light at the top of the image actually comes from behind the black hole. Looking at the cosmic beast from this angle, we also see that the material is much brighter on the left than on the right because it moves towards we, the spectator. A cosmic phenomenon called "Doppler beam" increases the level of brightness when the light moves in this way, and the reverse is true when it moves a way on our side.

NASA celebrates black holes for Black Hole Week and Tuesday released a cute video safety showing how to deal with ever-mysterious monsters.
