Does sun revolve around anything?
Yes! Our Sun orbits the black hole at the center of our galaxy one time every 226 million earth years.
What remain of a star that has no fuel but glows faintly is a black dwarf?
A black dwarf is a theoretical stellar remnant that is predicted to form when a white dwarf cools down completely. It is essentially a cold, dark, and compact stellar remnant with no nuclear fusion activity. No black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the Universe due to the immense timescales required for white dwarfs to cool down to become black dwarfs.
What keeps the sun in orbit in the milky way?
Gravity causes all orbits. It is believed that there is a "super massive" black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and most or all other galaxies, that serves as the primary source of gravity.
What stellar remnants can form when stars die?
When a star dies, it can leave behind different types of stellar remnants depending on its mass. Some examples include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are formed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed from the remnants of the most massive stars.
What star does the sun circle around?
The sun is not a planet that circles around a star. It makes part our galaxy, the milky way, which circles around itself. The circuit takes about 32,000 years.
Are there black holes in our galaxy?
Yes. Our galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center and likely millions of stellar mass black holes scattered throughout.
Does the sun orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy?
No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
How are supermassive black holes different from stellar mass black holes?
In their mass. a "stellar black hole" has a few solar masses (a few times the mass of our Sun), while a supermassive black hole (found in the center of most galaxies) typically has a mass of millions or billions times the mass of our Sun.
Are there any black hole in the sombrero Galaxy?
That is very likely. 1) Every larger galaxy, or most of them, have a supermassive black hole in their center. 2) Since a certain percentage of star eventually become a stellar black hole, any galaxy should have several stellar black holes,in addition to the supermassive black hole.
What are straight branches of stars projecting from the center of galaxy?
The straight branches of stars projecting from the center of a galaxy are known as stellar streams. These streams are formed when a smaller galaxy or star cluster orbits around a larger galaxy, and its stars are pulled into a long tail-like structure due to the larger galaxy's gravity. Stellar streams can provide valuable insights into the history and dynamics of galaxies.
What has the author Tal Alexander written?
Tal Alexander has written: 'Stellar processes near the massive black hole in the galactic center' -- subject(s): Black holes (Astronomy)
Are there any black holes in your galaxy?
Yes. There is a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy and a number of stellar mass black holes through the rest of it.
How many light years are we from the black hole?
The supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way is at a distance of about 28,000 light-years. The nearest known stellar black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years.
Is the sun orbiting a black hole?
No, the sun is not orbiting a black hole. The sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy and orbits around the center of the galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
How many galaxies have you observed that most likely have black holes?
Let's put it this way... All larger galaxies have huge black holes in their center. In addition to that, you can expect any galaxy to have a significant number of stellar black holes.
What will happen when you are in a black hole?
It depends on what kind of black hole you encounter, but all end in sure death. You will be sucked into the void in a mass of broken bones and torn flesh. A stellar mass black hole is an average sized black hole created when a star burns the last of its atomic fuel. If you enter a stellar mass black hole- theoretically- you be spagettified (stretched and ripped into a strand) soon after passing the event horizon. Super massive black holes are the colossal variety that rest at the center of all galaxies. Enter one of these babies, and you will get a few moments of bright, beautiful light before you get vaporised. Either way, you're toast.
What in your solar system do scientist think could be a stellar black hole?
There is no reason to believe that there are any black holes - stellar or otherwise - within our Solar System.
