Galaxy M87 with Black Hole Jet Live

[xxxgammaxxx]

@jpetrucci05 GAMMA RAYS...QUASARS, BLAZARS, PULSARS

[cvgeeps]

Very cool pic

[captainbatguano]

i think i can see the gamma ray burst. there must be a huge black hole at the center

[shittyfuck]

cant get it ..

[ferrarimike23]

Looks lik a quesar at the bottom

[bjeanfreau]

9 frames does not make a "video"

[Awesomo12000]

It's funny because that jet from the blackhole probably happened a few million years ago and now you are seeing it!

[hiian123]

that galaxy holds a hundred trillion stars. Ous holds 200 billion. That galaxy is massive!!! Oh btw i learned what a googol is.

[hiian123]

truly amazing!

[Oscar847]

yes but nothing is happening!

it looks like one of those pictures that hubble took instead of recording it to a video.

[Techlur]

@Oscar847

You do understand how MASSIVE those things are right? Something that massive would NOT appear to be moving at all.

It takes galaxies hundreds of millions of years to make just ONE rotation.

[Oscar847]

@Techlur

ohhhhh.

[vind3x]

First... how can u observe it? If even LIGHT can't get away because of it's huge gravity...

[supergiuovane]

@vind3x you're not observing the BH directly. You're observing luminous material around it. Jets are just an example.

[Megadeth72]

@vind3x cause it sucking another matter/material around it, so if there's star spinning around something that look empty, then there's actually something on that empty space, a black hole

[nickharvey7]

What do you mean by live?

[colosif]

Yes, not really live. It was a live shot but is recorded. I meant 'live' as opposed to most astro shots which are stacks of many still-camera images. This is 'live' in the sense that it is an actual image recorded at the telescope, frame by frame.

Possibly misleading and I am sorry about that choice of words

[Oscar847]

lol if you look at a live blackhole with ur telescope + ur naked eye U WOULD BE BLIND.

because the speed and pace of it.

[Zorack10]

Only if you were close enough to observe one. From earth not a chance. Don't be a idiot.

[Oscar847]

@Zorack10

Don't be an idiot.

[kokomal1]

@Oscar847 its black you cant see it , its all about speculation and wathing the trail it leaves no1 has ever seen a black and no1 will ever see

[19raghu]

@Oscar847 ahhhh U cant see a balck hole.....

[Oscar847]

@19raghu

Wrong.

You can see them in Hubble's infrared cam.

[rastamaniakTHC]

and you were almost right...x-ray and gamma ray...and this vid isnt black hole ..

[rastamaniakTHC]

those arent false colors...some of them are but not all..

[jamieball]

18" Obsession eh?? Must have some amazing visuals through that thing.. Can't imagine what M42 looks like through that scope..

[rastamaniakTHC]

search orion nebula m42 live through telescope in YT and you'll see....

[Germanboy567]

amazing. and to think this irregular galaxy thats not spiral is bigger than andromeda and the milky way. it could hold i would say about 11 milky ways

[Germanboy567]

sorry for sounding like a noob but why is this video black and white?

[overaight]

Because you can't see colors in space through a telescope unless you have some kind of filter, or a giant telescope to absorb the huge amount of light you'll need :)

[Germanboy567]

god damnit. what kind of filter do you suggest?

[overaight]

I don't have one except a moon filter that lowers the brightness of the moon so you don't damage your eyes, but there are several different filters for different views, like nebula-filters, planet-filters, galaxy-filters, check some webshops that sells telescopes, filters and stuff. :)

[rastamaniakTHC]

ummm....r yo uan idiot?? filter blocks light like Halpha or OIII or Hbeta etc. but you cant see colors through telescope unless you have very very good eyes and a big scope...like hmm 0.7m...

[Brotramel]

I think it is probably in X ray emissions actually. Black and white is easier to see just like and dark.

[aWiibitcrazy]

if u look closely u can see a faint ring and jet just look real close

[Jiinxey24]

It looks like a star

[acs1978aus]

Extraordinary. Its completely different when you actually see the object for yourself. Thankyou for posting this.

[lostinthehair]

nashman we have pointed them at pluto and its neighbors and wait til u see our best photos... but these black holes and galaxies are just so damn large and bright thus a lot easier to target than little dead pluto and its cousins.

[nashman3265]

ok this is a little off subject but if we can c black holes and gaxlaxys with the hubble telescoops and store bought telescops y the hell dont we point tht shit at pluto and the new planet or moon w/e it is and the only way u could c tht blackhole is saw through x-ray

[InfiniteUniverse88]

What wavelength was this black hole observed in, X-ray?

[rastamaniakTHC]

you cant observe black holes...only the gravity near them...

[InfiniteUniverse88]

You can't observe gravity. What is observed is energy released from matter, because it's compressed by the intense gravity of the black hoke, as it approaches the event horizon.

[rastamaniakTHC]

thats what i meant...my english is poor so...

[Curvatorta]

M87 is supermassive galaxy in Virgo Constelation.

pinche video
