I just want other people to read this shit and be confused whether it's part of the post or not.

The buzz in astronomy now is the new visual on a black hole. No one is really talking about it.

You don't have to go that far to find a nice vacation spot though.

Been into astrophysics since forever. This thread is the only reasonable one

Too lazy to change my profile picture

The buzz in astronomy now is the new visual on a black hole. No one is really talking about it.

Remember when you said Black Holes were invisible, Tony? How is your narc ego handling seeing a picture of one.

 

What Does Space Smell Like?

 

The final frontier smells a lot like a Nascar race—a bouquet of hot metal, diesel fumes and barbecue. The source? Dying stars, mostly.


The by-products of all this rampant combustion are smelly compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These molecules "seem to be all over the universe," says Louis Allamandola, the founder and director of the Astrophysics and Astrochemistry Lab at NASA Ames Research Center. "And they float around forever," appearing in comets, meteors and space dust. These hydrocarbons have even been shortlisted for the basis of the earliest forms of life on Earth. Not surprisingly, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be found in coal, oil and even food.

 
 Though a pure, unadulterated whiff of outer space is impossible for humans (it's a vacuum after all; we would die if we tried), when astronauts are outside the ISS, space-borne compounds adhere to their suits and hitch a ride back into the station. Astronauts have reported smelling "burned" or "fried" steak after a space walk, and they aren't just dreaming of a home-cooked meal.

The smell of space is so distinct that, three years ago, NASA reached out to Steven Pearce of the fragrance maker Omega Ingredients to re-create the odor for its training simulations. "Recently we did the smell of the moon," Pearce says. "Astronauts compared it to spent gunpowder."

Allamandola explains that our solar system is particularly pungent because it is rich in carbon and low in oxygen, and "just like a car, if you starve it of oxygen you start to see black soot and get a foul smell." Oxygen-rich stars, however, have aromas reminiscent of a charcoal grill. Once you leave our galaxy, the smells can get really interesting. In dark pockets of the universe, molecular clouds full of tiny dust particles host a veritable smorgasbord of odors, from wafts of sweet sugar to the rotten-egg stench of sulfur.

 Black holes are invisible Ed, and I said myself the only way to see a black hole is if there is a canvas of some sort.

Here is the proclaimed first image of a black hole.

It's being said that it's surrounded by gases that it's sucking in, and the gas is heated ( Probably from friction from the intense gravitational forces pulling it in )

It's likely they used infrared technology to spot this. Kinda like using infrared goggles to spot an invisible man, or a body running through the woods in the darkness of night.

With that in mind, to see this with the naked eye would be more along the lines of heatwaves on a black canvas, which you still wouldn't really see. 

The hole itself is invisible. Like space and gravity are invisible Ed, because that on the most part sums up what a black hole is.

Another report suggested finding the black hole was like spotting something the size of a marble on the moon.

In short. The only reason why the black hole can be spotted, is because it has something to suck on. Otherwise we'd have to use another kind of instrumentation to spot it. Maybe something that can pick up gamma ray radiation patterns from here to light years away.

Back then I also said there were no pictures of black holes, and how black hole theory is not something I can confirm or deny, and what I said about black holes was based on Stephen Hawking's theories. 

That picture and the news of it was released to the press a few days ago.

On a side note it's interesting to me personally that Hawking juuuust missed a chance to see a picture of his life's work. That goes to show what level of glory a person can be robbed of.

I also think it's possible Science itself can produce fake news, cause again, it's not something I can confirm or deny, But I'll just roll with the flock and say we have a spade here and let it be and use their information and have a tea party.

This is what I mean when I say I would never make posts like the above. That's factually incorrect. Black hole accretion disks were hardly Hawking's work.

Black holes ARE invisible.

But more importantly, aliens that visited Earth already knew about black holes:

According to a rapidly spreading theory, the Gods depicted in ancient cultures could actually be aliens from outer space. The ancient people just didn't understand their advanced technology and thought they were Gods. The same thing happened when we visited a detached island with aboriginals. They even built "airplanes" to worship us:

The only reason astronomy is interesting is because when we study the Egyptian ruins we can find signatures of ancient civilizations that pictured black holes like this one on top of the ancient priest's head:

Which are very similar to the science pictures of black holes that we are now finding. We also find stone carvings of ancient spacecrafts which are much more advanced than our current technology:

Take notes, people, this is real. Could it be coincidence? I do not buy it. It is more likely that ancient space travelers visited us and what we find in ancient ruins is hints and blueprints to their technology.

We can learn all sorts of ancient space technology and there are so many questions from studying ancient cultures which probably had access to quantum laser technologies that we can only dream of. Otherwise the ancient egyptian building blocks couldn't have had such smooth "cuts." Only laser precision allows for it.
