Black Hole: Scientific Intrigue

If you are into science and astronomy, you probably are amazed at the power and the phenomenon of mysterious black holes. Black holes are perhaps one of the most powerful forces in the universe and currently a relatively unknown entity. If you are a fan of black holes, the Smithsonian Magazine is featuring an interesting article on the subject.


Whether you are watching Star Trek, Star Wars or any other sci-fi TV series or movie, the power and phenomena of black holes usually make their way into the script. Black holes get their names from being so powerful that even light can’t escape their strong gravitational force. It is believed that when a powerful star implodes, it becomes so small, yet so dense it creates these incredible gravitational forces that are hard for us to conceive.


While we have been able to view black holes in other nearby galaxies, many scientists did not find clear proof that a black hole was present in ours (the Milky Way). However, recently, evidence has been found that suggests a black hole resides quite close to earth. For those that love science and astronomy and are intrigued by the power of black holes, visit Smithsonian Magazine today to read more about this phenomenon. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/
