Another #BlackHoleFriday weekend #GravitationalWave candidate #S241201ac

If real, the source is probably a binary black hole. Virgo glitches may impact source inference

Here is a cinematic version of a black hole with our hero plunging in past the event horizon, beyond which even light cannot escape the gargantuan gravity of the black hole.

Nobel laureate Kip Thorne was the scientific consultant and an executive producer for the movie Interstellar.

It's the day after Thanksgiving. Which means it is #BlackHoleFriday!

Let's start with this stunning visualization from NASA of a supermassive black hole similar to the one at the center of our galaxy.

A flat, swirling cloud of hot, glowing gas called an accretion disk surrounds the black hole. So do glowing structures called photon rings, which form closer to the black hole from light that has orbited it one or more times.

I've read a lot of books about black holes. Some have more impressive illustrations/visual aids than others.

While this particular book doesn't have the most impressive visual aids, it does a marvelous job of describing the fundamental unit of information; the bit, contained within the smallest scale possible, the Planck length.

#ArtAdventCalendar - Day 9. Anyone for one of the most awesome things in our universe? It’s Black Hole Friday and I’ve created a digital artwork of a Black Hole from a digital representation, using Adobe Fresco on iPad Pro, from my Circles Portfolio. #sciart #DigitalArt #astronomy #BlackHoleFriday #science
