Imagine the gravity in that region!!

“Science doesn’t tell us why the Big Bang happened, how the singularity occurred in the first place, or why it exploded when it did. It tells us there is objective scientific evidence that it occurred. So, what exactly was the Big Bang?” – Book III The Enigmatic Mystery

It's so fascinating! Thank you very much for sharing

Can’t imagine how fast that set up is gonna spin.

So einen „Tanz“ wird es auch mal in Milliarden Jahren bei „Mildromeda“ geben, natürlich ohne Zerstörung, eher Vereinigung.

When we say “supermassive black holes,” just how do they measure up? Using their shadows for size, we’ve rounded up 10 black holes and compared them to objects in our solar system. Don’t worry – these black holes are many light-years away: #BlackHoleWeek

Wonder what puts the “super” in supermassive black holes? Check out this animation that compares the sizes of 10 supersized black holes in our universe, including Sagittarius A* in our Milky Way ... which isn't even close to the biggest! We’ve included our solar system for scale, so you can see how big these black holes are! But this doesn’t represent their real locations — nearly all of these black holes are in other galaxies far, far away. #BlackHoleWeek

Hubble Records Wandering Black Hole That Swallowed a Star NASA astronomers have recorded a rare event using the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories — a tidal disruption event (TDE) involving a wandering black hole. It occurred 600 million light years from Earth and provided new insights into the behavior of black holes. The object was spotted due to gravitational lensing — the distortion of light from distant bodies under the influence of gravity. As it approached the star, the black hole tore it apart, creating a bright accretion disk that radiated in ultraviolet and visible light. Unlike typical black holes in the centers of galaxies, this one was located 2,600 light years from the core, where a supermassive black hole was already located. Despite their relative proximity, the two holes do not yet form a single system, but they may merge in the future.

This simulation of two supermassive black holes, approximately 30 million kilometers apart, orbits every 46 minutes. The simulation shows how the black holes distort the background stars and trap light, creating black hole silhouettes.

We can’t see them, but we know they’re there! ⚫ In this NASA visualization, we see 22 X-ray binary systems that host confirmed black holes, all shown at the same scale and with their orbits sped up by about 22,000 times.

Somewhere between small and supermassive black holes, an intermediate-mass black hole is hard to find because they don't shine unless they're caught in the act of eating a nearby star! Hubble and @ChandraXRay teamed up to study one of these rare events:

What happens if you fall into a black hole? NASA's Discover supercomputer created a visualization simulating an observer's approach to the event horizon of a supermassive black hole. Astrophysicists generated approximately 10 terabytes of data over five days, which would take over ten years on a conventional computer. The model depicts a black hole with a mass equivalent to 4.3 million solar masses, comparable to the central black hole in the Milky Way. The simulated black hole has an event horizon extending 25 million kilometers. The video demonstrates the approach to the black hole from a distance of 640 million kilometers to its complete collapse. You can see how the space around the black hole appears and is distorted, as well as the accretion disk and photon ring.
