    Black holes pack a lot of stuff into a small space! To become a black hole, it’s not about how much stuff an object has, but how much it’s been smooshed. How small does something need to be? And what things could become black holes? Follow along to find out! #BlackHoleWeek⚫pic.twitter.com/H0KTMnrzMj

        Did you know that #blackholes exist in many sizes? Stellar black holes, around the mass of our Sun, form when very large stars explode as supernovae ☀️🎇 The star's core collapses as the outer layers are blown away, leaving a small but extremely dense ball ⚫️ #BlackHoleWeek⚫️ pic.twitter.com/BbaHkqXaLB

        You see this “.”? If it were a black hole, it would have the mass of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede crammed into it! Anything can become a black hole if you squish it enough! That's a lot of gravity, period. https://go.nasa.gov/2msrWSg pic.twitter.com/AbB2VtZPNq

        Imagine how #Baltimore’s Inner Harbor would warp if a black hole—with a similar mass to Saturn—traveled through to take in the Charm City sights. But why would the buildings appear distorted like they do in the video? https://bit.ly/3rtCRXG  #BlackHoleWeek pic.twitter.com/gFU2ednn9E

        Well, if you could collapse something the size of the Sun into a black hole, you'd get a sphere about the size of a smallish town six kilometers across! #BlackHoleWeek https://twitter.com/NASAUniverse/status/1381623153735139333 …

        Replying to @NASAUniverse @LIGO

        For *any* mass density D > 0, no matter how small, there is a mass M such that the object with that mass and density in volume V=M/D is a black hole. So it is also about how much stuff an object has, not just how much it's been smooshed.

        "What scares you most : that we are alone in this Universe or that we are not alone?" - said someone special, that knew a few things about this Universe 🙂This thought that someone might be out there and we don't know who it is, is really something deep to think about..sleep well

        In thought, Black Holes are nothing more than a rotational atom smasher with one sole purpose and that is to break down matter into it's most fundamental particles.

        Black Hole in the universe is I think Magic Balls which makes all 500/600 Elements available in any Planet. So we can say our Sun was the Biggest Magic Black Hole and other Planets were small Black Hole s in our solar system. That's why Lava is available on this Earth 🐂🇮🇳🐐
