NASA Black Hole Simulation: A Stunning Visualization of Space Mystery

2024-05-08 13:02:01

Last Monday The United States Aeronautics and Space Administration or “NASA” released a video clip showing a realistic simulation of the event when humans pass through a “black hole” in space.

Black holes are caused by the decay of expired stars. Considered a celestial object. (Objects in space) which are both powerful and frightening because they are so dense that they create an area with enormous gravitational pull. The reason they are called black holes is because the gravity inside is so enormous that even light cannot escape.

Although humans now have more information about black holes, since their discovery in 1964, black holes have remained mysterious.

The simulations for these clips were created by Jeremy Schnittman, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Divided into two clips. 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.

As for the second clip, it is a visual representation of the eyes of a pilot in a spaceship narrowly flying over a black hole.

In the first reenactment clip posted on the Goddard Center YouTube channel, there is a simulation of a trip into a black hole, which lasts about a minute. Next comes an explanation of what these simulations are. Make viewers understand the images they are watching.

The destination in the simulation clip is a massive black hole 4.3 million times more massive than the Sun in our solar system, which is about the same size as the “supermassive black hole” named Sagittarius A in the middle of the Milky Way.

The first scene of the clip is a visual depiction of the viewer approaching the black hole from a distance of 400 million miles (about 644 million km), then falling into the event horizon, or the area around the black hole that contains very high gravity. and what goes in can no longer come out. Not even light or radiation.

The shape of the clouds, beams and gas surrounding the black hole are used as visual reference points during the exit from the black hole. And when you reach a certain point, you will see images of twisted lines of light distorting in the space-time warp (space-time warp).

Once inside the black hole The image represents the viewer heading towards its center called the singularity. (Singularity) which is the point where the scientific theories and principles of humans can no longer be used to explain the things that happen here.

The incredible simulation was created using a supercomputer called Discover located at NASA’s Climate Simulation Center. About 10 terabytes (10,000 gigabytes) of data were used to create the image.

As for the second music video, it is a clip that depicts the viewer’s eyes in a spaceship hovering on the edge of a black hole and narrowly escaping its gravitational pull. as well as descriptions of the different images that appeared on the screen in the latter
