  • In this episode, we explore the amazing discovery of Gaia BH1, the closest known black hole to Earth. We explain what a black hole is, how it can be detected, and how astronomers found Gaia BH1 using data from a space mission. We also discuss the implications and questions that arise from this discovery for our understanding of black holes and their role in the universe. And we show you how you can see this black hole and its companion star with your own eyes, or with a simple telescope or binoculars.

      My understanding is that a black hole is just a star who in its lifetime became so dense causing its gravitational pull to be so strong as to prevent light from escaping it and so you can’t see it and they call it black. It appears to be a hole but actually at the bottom there is an extremely dense mass that is distorting the space around it. some people speculate that it is truly a hole as an entry into another universe but that’s pure speculation and we’ll probably never know

      And if you haven’t, look up what it took for the EHT to actually get a _photograph_ of one of these monstrosities - 100 years, at last, after Einstein first proposed their hypothetical existence using mathematics alone.

      If you stay under a black hole Let's say with a spaceship with advanced technology or something. Then time would feel normal, but if you would go back to earth time has changed and your children could be dead a long time ago because they aged years when you were sitting under that black hole for a few hours.
      But for time itself I think a black hole absorbs it and fricking no one knows what's on the other side or if there even is an end.
      Some astronomers speculate that for every black hole, there could be a white hole where everything comes back out but it's just a speculation and nothing has been proved.
      Yet.
      My English is not the best sorry about that. But I hope I made black holes even more interesting now if you didn't know those things.

If you are looking for a black hole through a telescope (a normal one), the light from the stars and planets would, in fact, distort. If you see something like this, you might have seen a black hole. We do wonder if scientists have ever tried this theory. It would make things a whole lot easier for them. But, yes. A black hole is not easily spotted in space. So, thank you. We'll keep it in mind.

    You would not be able to observe it with a regular telescope. If we could, we would've found it sooner. The truth is, even if black holes were visible in any way (they're not, that's why they're called black holes) and at stellar mass, this thing would actually be tiny. While it is more massive than any object we could immediately compare it to, it would actually not even be as large as the earth. You definitely can't see a planet sized object from that far.

      It wouldn't be even remotely scary. Mass is mass and gravity is gravity. A black hole doesn't suddenly swallow stuff up, and one close enough to matter would be wildly detectable.
      Literally asteroids are scarier, we could be wiped out at ANY MOMENT from a rock coming at us from any number of directions, but mainly one originating from an angle where the sun's glare blocks any ability to see it.
      We've had them fly-by us dangerously close and not seen them until they passed us because only then were they visible to our instruments.
      Theres literally nothing to fear from black holes, if one is detected in our backyard coming straight for us it will still be centuries before it matters, and you'll be gone.
      The only way it could kindof sneak up is from a preposterously elliptical orbit that just grazes the supermassive at the center of our galaxy, picks up damn-near intergalactic slingshot speed and comes at us from a patch of sky where there are literally 0 stars. Its not happening.

But they are saying that it can be observed with a simple telescope? But there's no accretion disc or mass transfer..so no super heated material around it..and the star itself would only be a tiny pinpoint light. This isn't making sense how we can "see it for ourselves".

    The reason its likely not tearing the star could be the mass of the blackhole due to the roche limit. It is also has alot more mass than the star even if it is the same size as the star due to density

    What this means is that they found a lazy blackhole. It didn't need to work by absorbing other nearby stars or debris. It just sat there and let other star orbits around it due to high gravitational pull.

    The black holes, Gaia BH1 and Gaia BH2, are respectively located just 1560 light-years away from us in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus and 3800 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus. In galactic terms, these black holes reside in our cosmic backyard. Not Taurus. 😂🎉

      none of what they said is true
      truth is they use these "holes" to stargate and travel from one part of earth back down to another part quickly. The movie stargate was not about traveling in time but traveling to a far away land on earth through a star gate portal black hole using the stars

    The idea of a 'black' hole is a relatively new idea, though, psychologically, it makes sense, as in 'existence' being a blackhole.

    All pictures of blackholes actualy use radio waves not visible light. They needed an dish as large as the earth to make the quality good enough to see the shadow. But this is ofc not possible so they made hundreds of dishes all combined using alot of math and data this makes the pictures (there goes alot more into this ofc)

    Is there any reason why the colour of the star in the animation is blue, although being described as "very similar to our sun?" It's also *the Sun, there's only one star with that name, *very similar to our star known as the Sun* would be better. Random fact about the Sun: Ancient Greeks called it Helios, though, during the reign of the Roman Empire, that was replaced with the Latin name Sol.
