Supernova Explosion w/Black Hole kick-out

This video shows a black hole and its yellow companion star being sent out on a out on a long journey through the Milky Way galaxy by the explosive kick of a supernova - one of the Universe's most titanic events. New observations made by the ESA/NASA Hubble Space Telescope have allowed astronomers to measure the motion of this black-hole system across the sky using images taken in 1995 and 2001. The results are surprising: the black hole streaks across the plane of our Milky Way at a velocity 4 times that of stars around it! This is the first direct link between black holes and the supernovae that create them.

a few years ago i seen what i think is one of these now that i know what to call it. i big ball of light popped up in the sky in the middle of the night stretched out and the back end caught up to the front end and disappeared like star trek... * bing! like that....

@ilikenothin dude...i'm saying the ESCAPE SPEED is greater than the speed of light....not the singularity it's self. And yes at the even horizon it's the escape speed is equal to the speed of light. Then once inside it's greater than the speed of light because once inside you hit the singularity and it bends all rules of this dimension leading scientist do believe in a 4th spatial dimension. Do you know know what escape speed is? That's what I'm saying...not speed of a black hole.

@SirVladDracula its ok just telling ya

[SirVladDracula]

@krinek999 =[ Oh right.

Am sorry.

[krinek999]

@SirVladDracula i was talking about Beatlejuice not a black hole

@krinek999 You're terribly mistaken.

A black hole isn't a vacuum but a void of gravity; and gravity can only pull upon bodies which are in contact with it.

A black hole will usually be created and continue to consume all the "food" available to it until it runs out of immediate "food". At this point, the black hole stops being able to "eat" and becomes dormant. It can only consume what touches it.

Its basic understanding of a black hole.

@ClitoriousCeasar thats impossible if the black hole was anywere near the star its wud consume it berfore it even had a chance to go supernova
