Last Monday, the US Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, published a video clip showing a realistic simulation of the event when humans travel through a “black hole” in space.
Black holes result from the decay of expired stars. It is considered a heavenly being. (Objects in space) are powerful and terrifying at the same time because they are so dense that they create a region of tremendous gravity. The reason they are called black holes is because the gravity inside them is so great that no light can escape.
Although humans now have more information about black holes, since they were first discovered in 1964, black holes have remained a mystery.
The simulations in these clips were created by Jeremy Schnittman, an astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Divided into two sections. The first clip is a simulation that imagines the view from the eyes of an astronaut who has fallen into a black hole, his inevitable destination: death.
The second clip is a visual representation of the eyes of a pilot in a spacecraft flying a narrow distance in front of a black hole.
In the first reenactment clip posted on the Goddard Center's YouTube channel, there is a simulation of a trip into a black hole, approximately one minute long. Below is an explanation of what that simulation is. To create an understanding for viewers about the images they see.
The destination in the simulation clip is a supermassive black hole 4.3 million times more massive than the Sun in our solar system, which is the same size as the “supermassive black hole” called Sagittarius A in the middle of the Milky Way.
The first scene in the clip is a visual representation of the viewer approaching the black hole from a distance of 400 million miles (about 644 million kilometers) and then falling into the event horizon, or the region around the black hole that has very high gravity and what goes in cannot come out again. Not even any light or radiation.
The shape of the clouds, streamers, and gas surrounding the black hole are used as visual reference points during a black hole exit event. When you reach a certain point, you will see images of twisted lines of light being warped into a space-time warp.
Once inside the black hole the image represents the viewer heading towards its center called the singularity. (The singularity) is the point at which it is no longer possible for humans to use any scientific theories and principles to explain the things that happen here.
The stunning simulation was created using a supercomputer called Discover located at NASA's Climate Simulation Center. About 10 terabytes (10,000 GB) of data was used to create the image.
The second video clip is a clip that represents the viewer's eyes on a spacecraft hovering on the edge of a black hole and miraculously escaping the pull of gravity. In addition to descriptions of the various images that appear on the screen later.
