NFT: Scientists Capture a Black Hole from 290 Million Years Ago

BigBlueDownTheShore : 3/22/2017 1:01 pm

Destroying a star and spitting it back out. All made possible, because the light from it finally reached us on November 22, 2014. Science is pretty crazy. They released a simulation of the event today.

This Black Hole Ripped Up a Star Then Pummelled It With Its Own Remains - ( New Window )

At a speed of 186K miles/second, took 290 mill years to be seen here

I was once at a strip club in Baltimore called The Black Hole.

..one of my favorite films as a kid was Disney's 1979 The Black Hole which is one of the few Disney titles that they like to pretend never happened (sort of like Song of The South but for different reasons). I've been trying to ask if they have any plans to re-release it on Bluray because it has a decent underground following.
