Outer Space Mystery, What’s Inside the Black Hole? Page all

KOMPAS.com – The universe is a very beautiful and “wild” place. There are many things in the universe that are still beyond the reach of human knowledge.

One of the objects in the universe that always attracts attention because it is considered extreme, strange, and “scary” is black hole or black hole.

Black hole is an object in outer space that has a very strong gravity so that even light cannot come out of its pull.

Because no light can escape from their gravitational attraction, these extraterrestrial objects are known as black holes.

Reporting from NASA, August 22 2018, actually black holes cannot be seen because there is not a single speck of light.

However, scientists were able to see how the strong gravity affects the stars and the gas around the black hole.

When a black hole and a star are close to each other, there will be high-energy light that the human eye cannot see.

With satellites and space telescopes, scientists will see this high-energy light so they can recognize black holes.

So, are black holes really in the form of “holes”? If so, where do black holes lead?

Regina Caputo, an astrophysicist at NASA, says that although a black hole looks like a “hole,” it is not empty and there is a lot of matter condensing into a single point called a singularity.

Reporting from Discover Magazine, February 29, 2020, when it entered the black hole singularity, astronomers had no idea what was happening.

Black hole sizes can be large or small. Scientists estimate that the smallest black hole is equal to one atom in size.

Even though it is very small, this black hole has a mass the size of a mountain. Mass in this case is the amount of matter in an object.

Another black hole called a “star” has a mass up to 20 times the mass of the sun.

Meanwhile, the largest black holes have a mass of more than 1 million suns. Scientists are finding evidence that every large galaxy has supermassive black holes at the center.

The Milky Way Galaxy has a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A. It has a mass equivalent to 4 million suns.

Supermassive black holes it will fit in a very large ball that can hold several million Earths.

Although there are supermassive black holes in the Milky Way Galaxy, Earth will not fall into black holes.

The reason is, no black hole is close enough to the solar system. Even if a black hole with the same mass as the sun became the center of the solar system, Earth would still not fall into the black hole.

The black hole will have the same gravity as the sun, while Earth and other planets will orbit it as they orbit the Sun.

However, the Sun will not be able to turn into a black hole because the Sun is not big enough to make a black hole.
