Noah Yeasted A black hole is a large amount of matter in a small space. Black holes are one of the things that can be left over after a larger star dies. The other thing a larger star can become after it dies is a neutron star. A white dwarf is created after a smaller star dies. The only way for a star to become a black hole is if the star was 10-15 times more massive than the sun. The diameter of a black hole is approximately the diameter of New York City. A black hole’s gravitational pull is…
In the short film, Black Hole the protagonist creates technology in the form of a black hole, and uses it to help satisfy his curiosity and then greed. Ultimately, he is consumed by his own creation, greed, and becomes a victim of undesirable revenge effects. Simply by the setting of the short film the viewers can conclude that the actor may be at the office by himself around three in the morning, based on the clock in the background of the film. These details are noticeable because it was a…
makes people do desperate things but are the actions we make worth the outcome of happiness or satisfaction? The theme that best applies to the story “Black holes and Basketball Sneakers” by Lori Aurelia Williams and the poem “Please Don't take Air Jordans” is, The desire to fit in sometimes makes people do desperate things. The passage “Black holes and Basketball Sneakers” is about a boy named Malik who joined a gang so he could get a pair of sneakers and the poem “Please Don't take Air…
From doing my Synthesis on paper Black holes, I acquired valuable knowledge on various theories on black holes and its effect on the nearby objects. To have a deeper understanding of this serious subject, I had an opportunity to interview Prof. Andrea Ghez from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA. Dr. Ghez has been serving as the Director of the Galactic Centre Group, at UCLA for the last nine years and is working in the department of Physics and Astronomy where she teaches students…
maybe a Black Hole. Innumerable amounts of people have grown a phobia of black holes. This can mainly be blamed on the fact that numerous amounts of famous Hollywood films show black holes as being a vacuum of the cosmos, pulling in any and everything that crosses its path. However, science has proven that black holes are only of significant danger if a floating object were to get…
Nuclear Fusion and the Remains of a Dead Star Throughout the history of Earth, multicellular organisms rely on one thing, the sun. And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…
Interstellar: Black Holes Jodel Erickson May 15, 2017 Mr. Kopanke Apa Scientific Understanding of Black Holes “A black hole is a region in space where the pulling force of gravity is so strong that light is not able to escape” (Dunbar, 2015). This occurs because there is matter being pressed into a small space. Some black holes are the results of dying stars. Black holes are invisible because no light can escape. But, scientists have space telescopes with special instruments can…
seen phenomena such as the effects of black holes. The national aeronautics and space administration (NASA) are responsible for many of the advances in electromagnetic detection technology advances and intern responsible for many of the discoveries. The first ever telescope was made in 1610 by the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei within his first year of observation he had discovered four of Jupiter’s largest moons as well…
One concept that has interested is dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter is the thing that makes it possible for galaxies to exist. When astrophysicists and cosmologist calculated why the universe is structure the way it is, it became clear that there’s just not enough normal matter. The gravity of the visible matter is not strong enough to from galaxies and complex structures. The starts would more likely be scattered all over the place and not form galaxies. Therefore, cosmologist concluded…
idea that gravity travels across space-time in the form of gravitational waves. Well, they did. This morning, the LIGO team announced that they had picked up gravitational waves from the collision of two orbiting black holes. “We have detected gravitational waves from a binary black hole system,” says Matthew Evans,…
