Exploring the Depths of a Black Hole: NASA Releases Stunning Simulation Video

On the 7th (local time), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released a video simulating the “point of view” of flying into a black hole.

The video is the visualization of a simulation conducted by NASA supercomputer “Discover”, and the data capacity is about 10TB. The simulation was conducted over 5 days, allocating 0.3% of the 129,000 processors. This means it would take more than 10 years to perform the same task on a typical notebook PC.

The black hole prepared as a model for the simulation is a “supermassive black hole” with a mass 4.3 million times that of the Sun, equivalent to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

The two videos released are one which depicts a scenario where the player advances beyond the “event horizon” from which there is no turning back, and one which depicts a scenario where the player goes backwards before reaching the event horizon. events. Using the “accretion disk” swirling around the black hole and the “photon ring” at the black hole’s outer edge as visual references, the camera explains how the camera approaches or moves away from the event horizon as it orbits the black hole.

Objects swallowed by a black hole are thought to stretch out like spaghetti, then disintegrate and head towards a singularity at the center of the black hole.
