highly debated phenomenal words of this millennium. It is analogous to the black holes in the vast celestial world, and tends like a magnet to pull anything mentioned in daily conversations. Its impact area ranges from social and cultural issues to commercial and economic ones, from innovations to internet and communication technologies and from human mobility to political integrations and movements into it. However the black hole may seem and name the nature of the pulling celestial bodies in the outer

Black holes are one of the most intriguing phenomenon of space. A black hole is a hole in space that nothing can escape from it, not even light. Inside this black hole every matter gets crushed to “an infinitesimally small point” according to Einstein’s theory. Since light can not escape a black hole, nothing else can. This paper will hopefully provide an overview of the mystery of black holes and briefly discuss the nature of black holes, the causes of black holes and their types. So, what are

Supermassive Black Holes were first theorized to exist in the 1790’s. John Michell of England and Pierre LaPlace of France independently suggested the existence of an "invisible star." Michell and LaPlace calculated the mass and size — which is now called the "event horizon" — that an object needs in order to have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light. In 1967 John Wheeler, an American theoretical physicist, applied the term "black hole" to these collapsed objects

Albert Einstein Medal, and so many more. He was honored for the work he had accomplished in the science world. Some of the work that Stephen Hawking has done to be recognized by the scientific community was developing a mathematical proof for black holes, proving Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and redefining the Big Bang theory. He even wrote different books, ranging from

Stephen Hawking is concidered by many a scientific genius of living and still working today. Most legends are made when people die and when Stephen does die he will become a legend. Until then he is a leaving breathing genius. He hasn’t had it as easy as most but has done well combating his many struggles through life. Desoite all of these troubles Stephen Hawking has been able to rise above and has been a valuable part of the physics and cosmotology studies we have had on this planet. With all of

The Veil Nebula formed about 8,000 years ago after the death of a star 20 times the size of the Sun in a supernova explosion. Now, a new set of Hubble Telescope videos reveal clear images of its violent beauty. The explosion, lightning fast, plowed into a wall of cool, dense interstellar gas, emitting light. The Nebula is along the edge of a large bubble of low-density gas that was blown into space by the dying star before it exploded. The remnants of the destroyed star are multicolored and stunning

So what exactly are black holes? Lets put it this way. A black hole is just another thing a star can turn into when it runs out of fuel, in this case it is simply a massive ex-star that has collapsed. Black holes are very interesting and the properties that define them are how they are in mass, size, and what makes them black, how they are created, how they are observed. The creation of black holes is very interesting in my opinion. Basically you have a star with “critical mass” that has collapsed

are some things you could do more efficiently? 2. What were the main items/tasks that took up most of your time? 3. Do you see areas in your daily routine where you can make adjustments to become more productive? 4. Do you have any “black holes” that unnecessarily suck up a lot of your time? I think that I manage my time very wisely. I try to use all of my time to be as productive as possible, but still find time to unwind and de-stress. As you can see in my time management worksheet

A galaxy doesn’t need lots of stars to be big. It can be dominated by the dark matter, just as our own galaxy Milky Way is 95% dark matter by mass. However, a galaxy has been found that is as big as our galaxy but is almost entirely dark matter. Named Dragonfly 44, this galaxy consists of 99.9% dark matter. The galaxy was first detected last year through the use of WM Keck Observatory and the Gemini North Telescope in Manuakea, Hawaii, when the Dragonfly Telephoto Array noticed a region of the sky

ASTR 101 12 June 2016 Humans Will Not Survive It is only a matter of time before the cosmic calendar catches up to our species, as it had with the dinosaurs. Admittedly, our species has made leaps and bounds as a civilization despite the short amount of time that we have spent on the cosmic calendar. However, the human species has been around for only the last half-minute on the cosmic calendar, and we might not last much longer (Bennett, 2014). Even world renown physicist Steven Hawking has
