Throughout the series students will learn all about each planet individually as well as some phenomenon's that take place all over the universe - like blackholes and other galaxies. This episode will focus on black holes, and what exactly they are.

Black Holes

This live-action video program is about the word black hole. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word black hole through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels.  Viewers will see and hear black hole used in a variety of contexts providing students with a model for how to appropriately use the word. Related words are also used and reinforced with visuals and text.

A black hole is a celestial body or simply a place in space where the gravitational pull is so high that nothing, not even light can escape it. This is why it's completely black, and hence it's called a black hole. A black hole's “surface,” called its event horizon, defines the boundary where the velocity needed to escape exceeds the speed of light.When a massive star dies, it leaves a small but dense remnant core in its wake. If the mass of the core if more than around 3 times the mass of the sun, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and a black hole is formed.A black hole is not just empty space; in fact, it’s a great deal of amount packed into a very small area. Think of a star which is 10 times more massive than our is squeezed into a sphere which has the diameter equal to the size of New York city. The result will be a celestial object whose gravitational field is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. This is why black holes are named so, because they are pitch black!"Black holes explained" is a short-animated video explaining the science of ‘what is a black hole’ and ‘how black holes are formed’? The "black hole picture 2019" is a recent event that occurred in April 2019, which involved the release of the first ever black hole picture to the general public. But what are black holes? How are black holes formed? What’s the explanation behind the black hole theory?

What is a black hole? How is it formed?  And where are they?In this video, learn from Space Science specialist Douglas Equils about one of the most massive and mysterious things in our universe, black holes. From the GCSE / K12 "Earth and Space" chapter of the Virtual School.

Astronomer Steve Eikenberry at the University of Florida is on the hunt for black holes. Using a custom built camera affixed to the Gemini South telescope in Chile, he is honing in on the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. With support from the National Science Foundation, he hopes to learn more about how this particular black hole evolved, why there seem to be supermassive black holes at the center of most if not all galaxies, and what powers them. He also wants to know more about smaller, stellar-sized black holes that are peppered throughout the galaxy. Producer: Kate Tobin

We’ve covered a lot of incredible stuff, but this week we’re talking about the weirdest objects in space: BLACK HOLES. Stellar mass black holes form when a very massive star dies, and its core collapses. The core has to be more than about 2.8 times the Sun’s mass to form a black hole. Black holes come in different sizes, but for all of them, the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light, so nothing can escape, not matter or light. They don’t wander the Universe gobbling everything down around them; their gravity is only really intense very close to them. Tides near a stellar mass black hole will spaghettify you, and time slows down when you get near a black hole — not that this helps much if you’re falling in.

It’s not just smaller black holes that have all the fun – really, really massive black holes also enjoy being the center of attention!

Neutron Star, Meet Black Hole

Black holes are everywhere, including at the center of our galaxy. But because they’re invisible they’re quite difficult to study. Looking at the disks of material surrounding them, however, can give us tons of clues about how they function, how they form, and how accurate Einstein’s theory of general relativity really was.

NASA's Guide To Black Hole Safety

University students and researchers working on a NASA mission orbiting a near-Earth asteroid have made an unexpected detection of a phenomenon 30,000 light-years away. Last fall, the student-built Regolith X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) aboard NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft detected a newly flaring black hole in the constellation Columba while making observations off the limb of asteroid Bennu. The glowing object turned out to be a newly flaring black hole X-ray binary – discovered just a week earlier by Japan’s MAXI telescope – designated MAXI J0637-430.Music is "Castles and Cathedrals" from Universal Production Music.Video credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight CenterJames Tralie (ADNET):Lead ProducerLead EditorNarratorBrittany Enos (University of Arizona):Lead WriterJohn Caldwell (AIMM):VideographerRob Andreoli (AIMM):VideographerRichard Binzel (MIT):ScientistBranden Allen (Harvard):ScientistAaron E.

OSIRIS-REx Observes a Black Hole

Black holes are regions in space and time with an incredibly strong gravitational pull. Nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole. While we cannot observe them directly, scientists study the particles and radiation being drawn into black holes to understand their properties. Learn what we know about black holes and what remains unknown.

Exploring the Mystery of Black Holes

Steve Eikenberry is on the hunt for black holes, investigating why there seem to be super massive black holes at the center of most, if not all galaxies, and what powers them.  See how he does it in this episode of Innovation Nation with Miles O'Brien.

Innovation Nation - Black Holes

Black holes are not as black as we once thought. They are theorized to die a slow death by evaporation, emitting energy known as Hawking radiation. But the mechanism for evaporation is not well understood. Then again, no one has ever even directly detected a black hole.

The black hole death problem

Many Space Fans have been asking for more information about black holes, specifically, what would it be like to go inside one?Andrew Hamilton of the University of Colorado made this amazing animation and I wrote a script around it.

A Journey into a Black Hole

When physicists talk about black holes they’re usually referring to highly theoretical objects – static, unchanging black holes viewed from “infinitely” far away. This makes everything clean and simple enough to attempt the already notoriously complex calculations of black hole physics. But real black holes are created in the violent deaths of massive stars, and there’s nothing clean about that. And we now know that black holes merge – and in the process produce gravitational radiation that we’ve only just managed to detect with the miraculous work of the LIGO and VIRGO gravitational wave observatories. In the instant after its merger, the new, joined black hole looks nothing like the idealized theoretical black hole.

Black Hole Harmonics

It's been conjectured that the center of the Milky Way is swarming with tens of thousands of black holes. And now we've actually seen them.
