Explanation:
If you were a small one-eyed monster, would you want to visit a black hole?
Well the one in
this video does -- but should it?
No, actually, but since our little friend is insistent on going,
the video
informs it what black holes really are, and how to be as safe as possible when visiting.
Black holes are clumps of matter so dense that light cannot escape.
Pairs of black holes,
each several times the mass of our
Sun, have recently been
found to merge by detection of unusual
gravitational radiation.
The
regions surroundingsupermassive black holes
in the centers of galaxies can light up as stars that near them get
shredded.
The
closest known black hole to the Earth is
V616 Mon,
which is about 3,300 light years away.
The best way for our monster friend to
stay safe, the video informs, is to not go too close.
