How are black holes created and could humans create a black hole? by Keysha Cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax Space Exploration Project en-us 2018-01-16 16:49:01 UTC 2018-01-25 19:01:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Planets.png What is a black hole? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222597837 A black hole is a region of space where the force of gravity sucks everything in including light. Gravity sucks in so much that even light can't even escape, it is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny place. ]]> 2018-01-18 19:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222597837 How do they form and where? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222598034 Stellar Black Holes:
They form when a massive star collapses. Inside a star, gravity tries to pull everything closer together, at the same time energy released by nuclear reactions heats the stellar interior. Pressure of the hot gas pushes out so that gravity and pressure balance. Then when a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel it becomes unbalanced and the gravity over powers it.When that happens the outer layers explode in a supernova and the center collapses.

Supermassive Black Holes:
They are a byproduct of galaxy formation and they are located in the center of galaxies close to many tightly packed stars and gas clouds and they continue to grow on matter. They also might be a result of the collapse of a dense cluster of stars.

Miniature Black Holes:
They have not yet been discovered, one theory is that they possibly were formed shortly after the "Big Bang" which is thought to have stared the universe 13.7 billion years ago. Early in the life of the universe the rapid expansion of some matter might have compressed slower moving matter enough to contract into black holes. All matter and energy was compressed into a simple point then it exploded and expanded rapidly. Some might have expanded faster than other parts compressing some matter ad squeezing it into miniature black holes.]]> 2018-01-18 19:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222598034 Are there different types of black holes? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222599094 Yes, there are three different types of black holes and they are all a bit different. One of the black holes is called a stellar black hole, another one is called a supermassive black hole. The last one is called a miniature black hole. ]]> 2018-01-18 19:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222599094 How big are black holes? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222599437 Stellar black holes are 20 times bigger than the mass of the sun.
Supermassive black holes mass is more than one million suns put together.
The mass of a miniature black hole is smaller than the size of Mt. Everest.

Also they can study stars to find out if they are flying around or orbiting in a black hole. NASA is also using satellites and telescopes that are travelling in space to learn more about black holes.]]> 2018-01-18 19:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222599530 What's inside a black hole? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222886732 We don't actually know for sure what is inside a black hole because once light or material passes the event horizon it cannot return to us. But there is some theories that all the matter in a black hole is all piled up in a single point right in the center. That center point in a black hole is called singularity. But also it depends on the black holes history to determine what is inside it, it might be turbulent, twisted, or a number of things. ]]> 2018-01-19 18:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222886732 Do black holes grow or do they stay the same? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222902323 Supermassive black holes grow when material crosses the event horizon which boosts the black hole's gravitational force and expands the event horizon. Astronomers think that when material gets closer to the event horizon the material heats up and swirls around the hole. ]]> 2018-01-19 18:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222902323 Stellar Black Hole keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222909360 2018-01-19 18:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/222909360 What are the parts of a black hole? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/224032854 Singularity:
It is the very center of a black hole where gravity is the strongest.
The Event Horizon:
It is the part where there is no point of return, any object within this radius can't escape the gravitational force of the black hole.
The Accretion Disk:
It is a disk composed of stellar material that spirals towards the black hole.
The Ergosphere:
If the black hole is rotating, then as it spins, its mass causes space time around the black hole to rotate. This region is called the ergosphere.
Jets of Gas:
For some black holes, high intensity magnetic fields are emitted perpendicular to the accretion disk. This causes charged particles to circle these magnetic field lines and create jets of gas perpendicular to the accretion disk.]]> 2018-01-23 22:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/224032854 Can humans create a black hole? keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/224516597 Humans can't actually do something on Earth to cause a black hole to form because we can't cause a star to collapse, like it does in a galaxy. But however physicists have simulated a lab sized black hole made from sound to study how they work. For humans to make an artificial black hole you would need to compress the Earth's mass into a radius of 0.9 cm, in order for a black hole to form through the collapse of the matter. The density of such an object would be a phenomenal value that the formation of this black hole would result in the destruction of most of the planet in fractions of a second.]]> 2018-01-25 05:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/224516597 keysha_cochran https://padlet.com/keysha_cochran/6ckl44jr7fax/wish/224522042 References
