The Largest Black Holes in the Universe
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Our Milky Way may harbor millions of black holes... the ultra dense remnants of dead stars. But now, in the universe far beyond our galaxy, there's evidence of something far more ominous. A breed of black holes that has reached incomprehensible size and destructive power. Just how large, and violent, and strange can they get? A new era in astronomy has revealed a universe long hidden to us. High-tech instruments sent into space have been tuned to sense high-energy forms of light -- x-rays and gamma rays -- that are invisible to our eyes and do not penetrate our atmosphere. On the ground, precision telescopes are equipped with technologies that allow them to cancel out the blurring effects of the atmosphere. They are peering into the far reaches of the universe, and into distant caldrons of light and energy. In some distant galaxies, astronomers are now finding evidence that space and time are being shattered by eruptions so vast they boggle the mind. We are just beginning to understand the impact these outbursts have had on the universe: On the shapes of galaxies, the spread of elements that make up stars and planets, and ultimately the very existence of Earth. The discovery of what causes these eruptions has led to a new understanding of cosmic history. Back in 1995, the Hubble space telescope was enlisted to begin filling in the details of that history. Astronomers selected tiny regions in the sky, between the stars. For days at a time, they focused Hubble's gaze on remote regions of the universe. These hubble Deep Field images offered incredibly clear views of the cosmos in its infancy. What drew astronomers' attention were the tiniest galaxies, covering only a few pixels on Hubble's detector. Most of them do not have the grand spiral or elliptical shapes of large galaxies we see close to us today. Instead, they are irregular, scrappy collections of stars. The Hubble Deep Field confirmed a long-standing idea that the universe must have evolved in a series of building blocks, with small galaxies gradually merging and assembling into larger ones.

I thought this was going to be about Oprah.

Death star+ super nova =neutron star + enough matter =black hole

Do not fall for this propaganda. They are claiming blackholes exist but yet we are not able to see them. The only thing that you cannot see is nothing. And if you cannot see a blackhole like they are claiming then that would mean they are nothing. In other words, they do not exist. Open your Bibles if you want to know the truth. If you do not have a Bible contact me and I will mail you one free of cost.

Atheists and religious people gotta let people believe in what they like. But I am open for a debate.
-
shut the fuck up and tell me the biggest black hole
-
the last page of suratul-haj told us, how these things are expanding and how they will be redrawn back. and after 1437 years you come up with this poor theory, with out prove!!!. why are you wasting money and time then?. what the poor western civilisation!!!.

Space doesn't exist, earth is flat, and black holes are CGI. NASA is fake.

SpaceRip is really good to watch before sleep

14:40 - Theoretically, there is no limit to how much weight a black hole can gain.
Shouldn't that be mass, not weight? -
Lets play bleach roullete.
Every 5th like drinks clorox. -
you may think that they have real proof...and they only need you to see these cartoons..but no..that's all they have..cartoons.
-
earth is flat...black holes aren t real..everything nasa gives is cartoon and hollywood

It seems to me that if the singularity of a black hole has infinite density then it also has infinite mass which means it doesn't matter how much mass was consumed in it's creation or how much mass it has swallowed since then, it always has the same infinite mass and escape velocity of c and therefore a constant radius. All black holes should have the same mass and radius and anything that appears more massive than a standard black hole is likely a system of black holes orbiting each other.

2:44 THAT'S A SPACE FACE!! :O
-
10:30 are we just gonna not acknowledge that the universe is a brain?
-
Does anyone believe in white holes here?

Spock is this ur voice?
