He started with a black hole with a mass equivalent to about 4.3 million Suns, and, together with data scientist Brian Powell, also of Goddard, fed their data into NASA's Discover supercomputer.
The simulation then orbits the black hole and crosses the event horizon, also called the 'point of no return.' The visualization pairs the immersive graphics with details about the physics of such an ...
Nasa has released footage simulating what it's like being sucked into a black hole, a region of space with such strong gravity not even light can escape. The simulation was processed by a ...
NASA created the intense and confusing video using a supercomputer and said it would have taken more than a decade for a regular laptop to accomplish the same feat. NASA has released a video for ...
Black holes, those mysterious and terrifying objects in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape it, make for great movie plot twists. Hollywood aside, there ...
Thanks to a NASA supercomputer, an immersive visualization allows us to explore what happens as we approach a black hole.
We still don't have an answer, but a new supercomputer simulation is the best guess we have, based on current data. The ...
Bright, starry spiral arms surround an active galactic center in this new Hubble image of galaxy NGC 4951. This 360-degree video ...
