I've read a lot of books about black holes. Some have more impressive illustrations/visual aids than others.

While this particular book doesn't have the most impressive visual aids, it does a marvelous job of describing the fundamental unit of information; the bit, contained within the smallest space possible, the Planck length.

This black hole is on the move!

Hubble found evidence of an isolated black hole roaming around the Milky Way.

It's estimated that there are about 100 million black holes like this that are drifting through our galaxy: https://go.nasa.gov/3icsjx4

Happy #BlackHoleFriday!

Some of the brightest objects in space are blazars—supermassive black holes feeding off material, which can create two powerful jets of high-speed particles.

A 5-for-1 #BlackHoleFriday deal? Shown here is Stephan's Quintet. While the five galaxies are the focal point, this Webb image also reveals outflows driven by a supermassive black hole in one of the galaxies in never-before-seen detail: https://go.nasa.gov/3F4Fvgy

A black hole's gravity is so powerful that not even light can escape it. 😱

But on this #BlackHoleFriday, we ask you not to fear the mysterious things in our universe and instead be open to their beauty.

Thirty years ago, @nasa released this extraordinary Hubble image of a gas and dust disk fueling a galaxy’s black hole.

Hubble observations helped provide evidence that most galaxies contain enormous black holes: https://go.nasa.gov/3ieuBMc

The Mastodon app evidently hates me. Fourth time's a charm?

The 1st widely accepted black hole, Cygnus X-1, was discovered decades earlier in 1964. X-rays emitted were detected by a pair of Geiger counters launched on a sounding rocket from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. #BlackHoleFriday

RT by @NASA: While black holes don’t emit light, their influence can be seen. Swirling gas, energetic jets, and even ripples in space-time give them away. Follow this thread to learn how different observatories help us study black holes! #BlackHoleFriday
