Black Holes By: Griffin Roelle
What is a black hole? • It consists of 3 components • Point of singularity • Event horizon: Schwarzschild Radius • Size: radius range from 3x the # of solar masses in it- 1 billion solar masses
Kinds of black holes • 3 types • Supermassive • Stellar • Miniature • How are they named • Size • Location: Cygnus X-1, Andromeda, M87, NGC 4261, and the Milky Way
Formation • Pulling of gravity: tug of war • Supernova: implosion of star • Star/planet 20 times size of sun • 2.5 times size of sun after explosion= black hole
How are they found • Invisible • Gravitational lensing • Bending of light • Gravitational pull Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS): A spectrograph splits any incoming light using prisms and diffraction gratings into a rainbow.
The Differences • Black hole • Quasar • White hole • Worm hole
Should we be afraid? • Billions of light years • Event Horizon • LHC (Large Hadron Collider): Particle accelorator
