The black hole police, a team of astronomers known for debunking black hole discoveries, reported finding a "needle in a haystack". After searching nearly 1000 stars outside our galaxy, they found that one of them has a stellar-mass black hole as a companion. This short video summarises the discovery.

100 KM shy of a 15 solar mass black hole.

It sounds pissed!

This is a short compilation of the best videos from the internet that contain images of exploding supernovae, hypernovae, pulsars and black holes. Enjoy. Edited by me. Trackname: Immediate - With Great Power

To learn more about the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sgr A*, scientists zoomed in towards our galaxy's centre with the help of ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer to watch how stars move around Sgr A*. This video summarises what they found.

The Great Red Spot is a storm on Jupiter that has been raging for centuries. It is the largest known storm in our solar system and it's the only one which has lasted this long. The Great Red Spot was first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610, but he didn't know what it was at the time. In 1765, William Herschel discovered that the Great Red Spot was actually a giant hurricane-like storm with winds of over 400 km/h (250 mph). The spot itself measures about 10,000 km (6,200 mi) across and it takes around 12 Earth years to go around once. The Great Red Spot is a large oval-shaped storm system on Jupiter which has been observed since 1830. The spot is about twice as wide as Earth and it takes roughly 12 hours to go around the planet. It has been reported that the spot can be seen from Earth with a small telescope, but you will have to wait for some time before seeing it in real life. How does The Great Red Spot of Jupiter look like ? Jupiter’s Great Red Spot looks like an oval-shaped cloud with two lobes at both ends and four smaller white ovals inside its borders.

Galaxy is a collection of stars, dust and gas held together by gravity. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system. Galaxies come in many shapes and sizes but all galaxies have at least one thing in common: they are huge! A typical galaxy has hundreds of billions of stars (and maybe even more) and can contain up to 100 billion times as much matter as our Sun. The visible part of the universe is just a small fraction of what exists since there are so many galaxies out there! The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias (γαλαξίας) via Latin galaxia "milky" from the Ancient Greek γαλαξός ("milky") or γαλακτόν (galakton), literally "milk-white". Galaxies range in size from dwarfs with just a few billion (or even fewer) stars to giants with one hundred trillion (1014).

this will acctualy happen in the future

Galaxies are vast swarms of billions of stars along with huge interstellar clouds of gas and dust. A spiral galaxy has a broad, thin disk shape, with a bulge of stars in its core, Within the disk are winding arms of dark dust lanes and bright star-forming regions, This structure is stable when left alone, but is relatively easily disturbed when another galaxy passes near. Astronomers have studied galaxy interactions for decades, and Hubble's keen vision has been particularly useful for examining new details. A 2008 Hubble press release unveiled 59 images of galaxy interactions. Each image, however, captures only one moment in a billion-year-long collision process. This visualization of a galaxy collision supercomputer simulation shows the entire collision sequence, and compares the different stages of the collision to different interacting galaxy pairs observed by Hubble. The two spiral galaxies in the simulation distort, twist, and merge together, matching different images at different times and different viewing angles. With this combination of research simulations and high resolution observations, these titanic crashes can be better illustrated and understood.

The constellation of Scorpius is one of the most beautiful in our sky. The brightest star of this constellation is the red Antares. This star can often be confused with the planet Mars, as they are similar in color and brightness. Scorpius is a zodiac constellation, so Mars can sometimes be next to Antares. In northern latitudes, the constellation of Scorpius is only partially visible. This constellation is much better seen in southern countries, where it is associated with local myths and legends. Please write in the comments in which cartoon the hero uses this constellation when navigating. In the tail of the Scorpius you can see two fairly bright stars close to each other - "cat's eyes". It is curious that about 400 thousand years later they will visually practically merge into "one eye".

All the stars seem equally distant from us, as if they are placed on an imaginary celestial sphere. In fact, all the stars are at different distances from the Sun. Bright stars located far away from us seem faint. Conversely, faint stars not far the Sun appear bright. In fact, the familiar shapes of the constellations are a play of chance. Stars forming a certain shape, such as a dipper, may actually be completely unrelated to each other. And what if we place all the stars on the celestial sphere after all? In the video, you can see how Ursa Major and Ursa Minor will look like if all the stars of these constellations are at the same distance from us in 20 parsecs, which corresponds to a distance of about 65 light years. Let's make a reservation that we will not take all the stars, but only those that are not further than 200 parsecs from us. If we take all the stars at all and place them at a distance of 20 parsecs, then we will see a solid glow of stars. When all the stars are at the same distance from us, it is easy to judge their true brightness. It can be seen that in this case the stars of the Big Dipper will get lost among other stars. So, in fact, these stars do not stand out in any particular way relative to others. But the brightest star in this part of the sky turns out to be the Polar.

In this video, you can see Sirius moving slowly through the 100,000-year-old stars: where it was 50,000 years ago, where it is now, and where it will be 50,000 years from now. Sirius was one of the first stars to find itself in motion. In 1718, Edmund Halley examined Ptolemy's map. This is made possible by the relative proximity of Sirius to the sun. Before that, stars were thought of as static light.

In the video you can see the movement of the open star cluster Hyades among the other stars over 4 million years. Look at where the cluster was 2 million years ago, where it is now and where it will be 2 million years later. It is clearly visible that about 800 thousand years ago the cluster flew as close to us as possible. Since then the Hyades move away from the Sun. Now the cluster is located in the constellation of Taurus in the projection near the bright red star Aldebaran. To the right of the Hyades cluster, also in Taurus, you can observe another bright open star cluster of the Pleiades, perhaps the most spectacular one in our sky. For the next 2 million years the Hyades will move further and further away from the Sun until they are lost among the rest of the stars.

This zoom video sequence starts with a flight through the faint constellation of Sculptor (The Sculptor). We soon see a rich group of distant galaxies, the cluster Abell 2744, known as Pandora’s Cluster. But continuing even further back into the early Universe we finish the trip looking at the dusty galaxy A2744_YD4, the most distant galaxy ever seen with ALMA.

This video begins with a ground-based view of the night sky, before zooming in on the almost perfectly spherical Bubble Nebula as the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope sees it.

This zoom video sequence starts with a broad view of the Milky Way. We then dive into the dusty central region to take a much closer look. There, a swarm of stars orbit around an invisible object: a supermassive black hole, 4.3 million times that of the Sun. As we get closer to it, we see these stars, as observed by the NACO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (the last observation being from 2019). As we zoom in further, we see stars even closer to the black hole, observed with the GRAVITY instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometry in mid-2021.

ESO’s exquisitely sensitive GRAVITY instrument has added further evidence to the long-standing assumption that a supermassive black hole lurks in the centre of the Milky Way. New observations show clumps of gas swirling around at about 30% of the speed of light on a circular orbit just outside a four million solar mass black hole — the first time material has been observed orbiting close to the point of no return, and the most detailed observations yet of material orbiting this close to a black hole. This video starts with a wide view of the Milky Way and then zooms into a visualization of data from simulations of orbital motions of gas swirling around at about 30% of the speed of light on a circular orbit around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.
