Supermassive Black Hole – Many of you have heard this mysterious and dangerous term that perfectly represents the unknown, right? Our galaxy In the middle of it there is also such an invisible giant, which by the way is not hidden anymore, because not long ago we were able to take a picture of it.
Of course, don't imagine this as someone looking up at the sky and tapping their phone, because it took eight ground-based telescopes to “capture” the object in the galaxy M87, which is larger than our entire solar system.

NASA chose a less complicated but more exciting solution in order to illustrate what would happen if we were suddenly inside the event horizon of a black hole, from which we would have no chance of escaping.
Once something exceeds this threshold, nothing — not even light — can escape the black hole's gravity. A 360-degree visualization created by NASA's supercomputer shows for the first time what it would be like to go around a black hole before diving into it.
“I simulated two different scenarios: in one, a camera – a stand-in for a reckless astronaut – Just avoid the event horizonIn the other, he crossed the border, thus sealing his fate.”
– said the visionary, astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

The black hole in question is similar to Sagittarius A, the aforementioned supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Its mass is 4.3 million times greater, Like our sunIts event horizon is 25 million (!) kilometers.
“If we had a choice, we would want to fall into a supermassive black hole,” Schnittman explained.
Schnittman is right, making spaghetti can actually be a lot more fun!
