Just 3,000 light-years from Earth, there’s a black hole large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Luckily, we’re at a safe distance from this one and countless others like it. Scientists estimate there are around 100 million black holes in our galaxy alone.
These cosmic monsters are born from supernovae, when massive stars 10 to 20 times larger than our Sun collapse under their own gravity. But could a black hole ever devour us? With millions of them scattered across the galaxy, it’s a question worth asking.
And what if we somehow created a black hole ourselves? Buckle up. Things would get… intense. 🌀
What would we actually see as we’re pulled in? Could Earth orbit both the Sun and a black hole? Would we survive spaghettification? And what really happens once we cross the event horizon?
