This Is the Closest Black Hole to Earth, and You Can See It with a Simple Telescope
Ғылым және технология
In this episode, we explore the amazing discovery of Gaia BH1, the closest known black hole to Earth. We explain what a black hole is, how it can be detected, and how astronomers found Gaia BH1 using data from a space mission. We also discuss the implications and questions that arise from this discovery for our understanding of black holes and their role in the universe. And we show you how you can see this black hole and its companion star with your own eyes, or with a simple telescope or binoculars.

My understanding is that a black hole is just a star who in its lifetime became so dense causing its gravitational pull to be so strong as to prevent light from escaping it and so you can’t see it and they call it black. It appears to be a hole but actually at the bottom there is an extremely dense mass that is distorting the space around it. some people speculate that it is truly a hole as an entry into another universe but that’s pure speculation and we’ll probably never know

Watch Kurzgesagt’s three videos on them. In particular, “Black Holes 2” goes into the most absurd implications of their existence, i.e. the information paradox and the holographic principle. And if you haven’t, look up what it took for the EHT to actually get a _photograph_ of one of these monstrosities - 100 years, at last, after Einstein first proposed their hypothetical existence using mathematics alone.

If you are looking for a black hole through a telescope (a normal one), the light from the stars and planets would, in fact, distort. If you see something like this, you might have seen a black hole. We do wonder if scientists have ever tried this theory. It would make things a whole lot easier for them. But, yes. A black hole is not easily spotted in space. So, thank you. We'll keep it in mind.

You would not be able to observe it with a regular telescope. If we could, we would've found it sooner. The truth is, even if black holes were visible in any way (they're not, that's why they're called black holes) and at stellar mass, this thing would actually be tiny. While it is more massive than any object we could immediately compare it to, it would actually not even be as large as the earth. You definitely can't see a planet sized object from that far.

What do you mean “raises new possibilities on finding black holes”? Black holes without an accretion disk are the norm, and we have observed many so far, namely Sagittarius A in the center of our galaxy. We know these objects are there from other visible objects orbiting around an empty point in space or from gravitational lensing effects. This is not some new discovery, just another black hole found that is relatively close to earth this time.
Pretty cool that black holes look just like our pupil and iris. Not to mention the fact that in Genesis, God says let us make man in our image.

It wouldn't be even remotely scary. Mass is mass and gravity is gravity. A black hole doesn't suddenly swallow stuff up, and one close enough to matter would be wildly detectable. Literally asteroids are scarier, we could be wiped out at ANY MOMENT from a rock coming at us from any number of directions, but mainly one originating from an angle where the sun's glare blocks any ability to see it. We've had them fly-by us dangerously close and not seen them until they passed us because only then were they visible to our instruments. Theres literally nothing to fear from black holes, if one is detected in our backyard coming straight for us it will still be centuries before it matters, and you'll be gone. The only way it could kindof sneak up is from a preposterously elliptical orbit that just grazes the supermassive at the center of our galaxy, picks up damn-near intergalactic slingshot speed and comes at us from a patch of sky where there are literally 0 stars. Its not happening.
It has a magnitude (brightness level) of 13.5 so it’s almost impossible to see with a telescope and it’s a black hole so that makes it even tougher to find since no light can be emitted. Note that the nearest galaxy Andromeda, has a magnitude of 3.44 and is hard to find in suburbs too

If it's only a stellar mass black hole, within range of a few times the mass of our star, it's most likely a ballet, a binary system in which they orbit each other and the dilation would be similar to that of the star alone that orbits the black hole. Only when the gravitational forces reach critical levels approaching the horizon would you see any kind of measurable differences in space time.

It's the same dialation as we have. It has the distance 1,4 times to the black hole that had the mass of since stars. So no dialation at all

Time is an abstract concept not a physical phenomenon. To go faster or slower in response to real phenomena like gravity it would have to exist in reality but it doesn't. Space is the same.

In case you're wondering: an astronomical unit is the average distance from the centre of the earth to the centre of the sun. Roughly 150 million kilometres.

If you stay under a black hole Let's say with a spaceship with advanced technology or something. Then time would feel normal, but if you would go back to earth time has changed and your children could be dead a long time ago because they aged years when you were sitting under that black hole for a few hours. But for time itself I think a black hole absorbs it and fricking no one knows what's on the other side or if there even is an end. Some astronomers speculate that for every black hole, there could be a white hole where everything comes back out but it's just a speculation and nothing has been proved. Yet. My English is not the best sorry about that. But I hope I made black holes even more interesting now if you didn't know those things.

So basically a sun is orbiting empty space and we assume it’s a first of its kind black hole. The fact that our understanding of black holes defies our laws of physics is reason enough to assume we know little.
