BLACK HOLES
Title
1915: Einstein’s Theory of Gravity predicted the possibility of
black holes, but no one believed they actually existed!
1967: Term “Black Hole” coined
1970’s: Convincing evidence that black holes are real
Today: NASA space telescopes have discovered evidence
for
black holes throughout the universe
Albert Einstein
What did Einstein say about Gravity?
Mass distorts space - “curving” it
Objects and light moving near the massive object are
forced to take a curved path around the object.
Just like the Moon orbiting Earth.
What is a Black Hole?
An unimaginably dense
region of space where
space is curved around it
so completely and gravity
becomes so strong that
nothing, not even light, can
escape.
Mass is so great in such a small volume that the
velocity needed to escape is greater than the
speed light travels.
How much would you “weigh”?
On Earth, let’s say you weigh 150 lbs.
On the Moon, you’d weigh 25 lbs.
On Jupiter, you’d weigh 350 lbs.
On the Sun, you’d weigh 4,000 lbs.
Near a Black Hole,
you’d weigh over
20 TRILLON POUNDS !!!
There are 200 billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way
There are also millions of black holes
Including one giant black hole at the very center.
Where do black holes come from?
Three classifications of black holes:
Stellar-mass: 3 to 20 times the mass of our Sun
Supermassive: Black holes with millions to billions of times the
mass of our Sun
Mid-mass: In between stellar-mass and supermassive
Stellar-mass:
Black holes are made when a giant star,
many times the mass of our Sun, dies.
Most of the star’s atmosphere is blown
into space as a supernova explosion.
The star’s spent core collapses under
its own weight.
If the remaining mass is more than the
mass of 3 Suns, it will collapse into a
black hole.
Where do black holes come from?
Supermassive:
Extremely massive black
holes have been found in
the centers of many
galaxies - including our
own!
Where do black holes come
from?
Mid-Mass:
Scientists are finding these in
the centers of large, dense
star clusters.
Like this globular star cluster,
called M15, in our Galaxy.
Where do black holes come
from?
