Celebrate #BlackHoleFriday with Nurturing Baby Stars

Are you throwing all your money into a black hole today?

Forget Black Friday — celebrate #BlackHoleFriday with us and get sucked into this recent discovery of a black hole that may have sparked star births across multiple galaxies.

If confirmed, this discovery would represent the widest reach ever seen for a black hole acting as a stellar kick-starter — enhancing star formation more than one million light-years away. (One light year is equal to 6 trillion miles.)

A black hole is an extremely dense object from which no light can escape. The black hole's immense gravity pulls in surrounding gas and dust. Sometimes, black holes hinder star birth. Sometimes — like perhaps in this case — they increase star birth.

Telescopes like our Chandra X-ray Observatory help us detect the X-rays produced by hot gas swirling around the black hole. Have more questions about black holes? Click here to learn more.

You’ve got to move fast on #BlackFriday2018 when there are limited quantities! Here’s a look at fast-moving jet material from the powerful gravity of a supermassive black hole when a star wandered just a little too close: https://go.nasa.gov/2FAO1XB #BlackHoleFriday https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC4jrTqQX-ObxHyfLBWg41PA #astronomia #planetas #universo #espaço #astronauta #sistemasolar #astronauta #astronomy #planet #planets #universe #space #astronaut #solarsystem #spacex #cientistas #CarlSagan #Interestellar #hubble #earth #cosmos #saturno #Earth #Terra #quasar #galaxia #galaxy #loveastronomy (em National Aeronautics and Space Administration - NASA) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqkWM7iArlk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n5jisaf5cyg6

What deals have you found today? We took a break from shopping to find you this awesome video. Take a break, relax and recharge for a bit. and follow @nasa while you are at it. #mandime #forwardthinkingmodernman #Repost @nasa (@get_repost) ・・・ Searching for those two-for-one #BlackFriday deals? We’ve got one of galactic proportions for you in honor of #BlackHoleFriday. Here’s a look at two supermassive black holes spiraling toward a collision. In this supercomputer simulation, three regions of light-emitting gas glow as the black holes merge, all connected by streams of hot gas. The disks and streams of gas produce a ton of UV light and X-rays. There’s an empty circle between the two black holes that wasn’t modeled in this version of the simulation because it needed more processing power — this version took the Blue Waters supercomputer 46 days on 9,600 computing cores!

@Regranned from @nasa - It’s #BlackFriday, but we don’t do much shopping in space. Instead, join us for our 5th annual #BlackHoleFriday where we’ll share awesome images and facts about black holes! A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. Black holes are formed when giant stars explode at the end of their lifecycle. If the star has enough mass, it will collapse on itself down to a very small size. Because no light can get out, people cannot see black holes...they’re invisible! Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes by seeing how stars that are very close to them act differently than other stars.
