What happens when you get sucked into a black hole? Do you just stay there or get transported to a new dimension or universe.

Anonymous said...

I thin when you get sucked in you would run out of oxygen

Natsuki, Paul, Andrew said...

Thanks for your answsers but I dont think that is what we were looking for. We thought the black energy theory was very cool and interesting.

Johnny said...

That would be kinda cool if you could go into another dimention like that

Julia said...

I find it really cool that there are so many black holes. I wonder what it's like to be in one.

peter said...

the hubble website was awesome i got to see a cygnus X-1 black hole close up

Brandon said...

ZOMG!!!! Quasars are an active black holes that is consuming large amounts of material....a Quasar is a SUPERMASSIVE black hole

Julia said...

I know I would probably die butI want to know what will be around me like is it a giant black room or I start seeing wierd things...

Zach Nye said...

Even though I am Zach Nye, a world famous scientist, I did not know that there are many black holse in the universe. How could these black holes not affect and reach the earth if they are so massive, the earth should feel some affect of these massive black holes

Andy said...

the black hole is a very creepy place i wonder what happens if you go in it. Will nyou die? will you stay their forever? I wonder why.

Brandon said...

Do you think in the future people will go out in space and watch Quasars consume everything,and the people who are watching it think it's ROMANTIC ????

peter said...

the cygnus X-1 black whole im guessing is would circle around and theres a ball thing thats starting the black hole

Eylon Liani said...

I wonder where all of that energy generates from
becuase how could all of this occur
how for did the big bang effect

Laura said...

Thats soooo creepy If I got suked in a black hole what would i do could you get out

Eylon Liani said...

does the earth have anything to do with all of the black holes

Marc said...

I find it cool how a dying star can turn into a black hole...
how is that even possible!!!???
what would happen if the sun became a black hole

Viraj Patel said...

All the info about this seems interesting but i wonder where all the stuff goes when its sucked into a black hole.

Julia said...

In the cosmic collisions part, I find the galaxies pretty. They are deadly though. Its like those poison frogs in Puerto Rico. Pretty but deadly...

Eylon Liani said...

what generates or has more energy, the earth or a black hole

Zach Nye said...

@Brandon: I hope people will never do that but you never know...maybe people will think that the swallowing of stars and watching there soon to be death is very romantic to them, you never know
@Eylon: The Big Bang affected the whole world, It created all of the planets, realeased all the stars, and made the sun.
@Andy: you will die,Your body will first be stretched apart, Then in the last moment of your journey your body will be compressed into the central singularity ok the black hole, a single point of infinite density, so you will die

Julia said...

How much stuff could black energy power?

Nick Gee said...

When you go in a black hole how long will it take you to die?

Zach Nye said...

You should try the "fall into a black hole" activity, Andy, you will learn alot about what will happen if you went into one!

Laura said...

where does all the stuff sucked in a black hole go?????

Sean said...

Hmmm.... If we try to get their for an austanut to see, it will take a while, like maybe few 1000 years too... 1,000,000 years in order to make it possible, if we a that amount of fuel. It's gonna take a while. 0_o
I wonder what would a black hole would look like if we see it in real life.
Animations do not count....

Johnny said...

OMG the black hole fall is so fun!

PS: I like turtles

Sean said...

If we just had a monkey, and their's a near black hole, grabe a very very long rope attached to the monkey. and hold it on to something very stable and strong, then let's see what happens, we can teach the monkey that when it dies, it gives a buzz in our ears, if it succesful for the monkey not to die, then it'll give us a ring in our ears. We just need the technology to do that...

Viraj, Nick, Peter said...

Will earth ever become a black hole????? If so, we're packing our bags. (:

Fumiya said...

You can't see a black hole because the universe is black. Website was using a computer graffics and some imagination,but still it was fun.

Sean said...

Grab a monkey and throw it to the black hole :D
Or grab a person to take pictures in the black hole as fast as possible whoever is inside the black hole.
I wonder if someone is watching us 0_o...

Sean said...

Does anyone have a monkey that has a flash light and that can take pictures that is inside of the black hole?

If we get sucked in the black hole, we might go to another demension, if that is possible, probally not...
WE MUST TEST!!! >:D

justin said...

the teloscope can find so many black holes and not black holes like plants

Brandon said...

threw one of my two $200 dollar watches into a black hole....don't think im getting it back
^(^^)> <(^^)> <(^^)^

eli said...

how are black holes are formed

Julia said...

HOW BIG IS SPACE!!!!!!! I think you need more than a ruler to measure it. Is it even possible to get to the end of space?

Gayle said...

If Black enegry,is so dangerous then how do these scientists know about it?

Thomas said...

how are black holes created if they are out there

Jennifer Castronovo said...

why is there only black holes in space? can are plant ever get sucked up from one of the black holes?

Kaylee Derderian said...

How come the black hole is sucking everything up???? the black hole is very interesting well it does take everything around it with it.

James said...

A cloud collapses to form a star and disk. Planets form from the disk. If the earth was the size of a marble, would we be able to live?

Dante and Rohan said...

i wonder if you get sucked into the black hole do you go into another demension or another universe

Thomas said...

how can a black hole kill someone instantly???

?? Jessica Pagano said...

How did we find out about blackholes? Was a person ever sucked up by one? If you do get sucked up by one where do you go?Is is black or a mix of different colors? How does it feel to be in one? Do they travel?

Aviv said...

I think it is interesting that if the earth got smaller the gravitational force will get bigger, I always thought it would get smaller. I wonder if a spaceship has ever been sucked into a dark hole, and if it has, did the people in it survive?

Chungster(Kevin) said...

what will happen when if i was standing on a place where is about a mile far? would i get suck in to the black hole... well i think i would... never try it at home

Alyssa :) said...

How do they know about so many different galaxies? Have they ever travelled there? I think it's really amazing how they know where the different black holes and other galaxies are. It makes me want to know more about Outer Space than before :)

Emily L said...

How did we find out about black holes? and how do they know earth of sun will never become one?!

steve said...

how big is the sucking up power of the black hole

Thomas said...

how does black energy form??? does it build up or something like that

Dominique Petruzzella said...

A black hole is an object that is so compact that its gravitational force is strong enough to prevent light or anything else from escaping.
what happens when you get stuck in a black hole or what if earth ever had a black hole... what will happen?
this exploration was a intrusting and very questonable one. i think this is very fun and a good way of learning in this centry.

Alyssa :) said...

I think Betelgeuse (Red giant) looks really cool! I've heard it in a book somewhere I think... it's much closer to Earth than the other things I've seen. Also, it must be really old according to the information section. :D

Christina Vergona said...

Did you know the name black hole was introduced by John Archibald Wheeler in 1967.

*Emily* said...

I think the stars and galaxcy is very pretty from the pictures i saw. it's cool to see whats up in space!

Alyssa said...

Actually, "Binary star" is the closest Non-Black Hole (not including the moon :)

Joshua said...

I never knew that black holes existed. I think reaching the closest black hole is impossible.

Chungster(Kevin) said...

i heard that there can be a black hole when the sun blows up?? can it be correct? i wonder...

Ja So NC Or Te S Code said...

I didn't kno wthat it was possible for any thing, even a black hole to suck up light!

Anonymous said...

that machine is so cool!

I LOVE MRS.DOWSON!!!!!!

Emily and Kaylee said...

dear mrs.Dowson,

We love you!!! you are the best!!

andrew t said...

i enjoy learning about all of these things that are such nagging like how big the universe is or how big is a black hole and what does it look like and how dangerous black energey is but it makes the little nagging feeling in your chest start nagging even more because you want to know what the answers to the questions are.

Chung it up!! said...

i enjoyed learning as well

Michael Mutnick said...

The website was very interesting. I learned a lot about the hubble telescope. It is so cool how scientists can get so much information from just one telescope.

Nyah said...

It's cool how the universe was really hot at first but then as it expanded, it became cooler and atoms and planets, stars were part of the universe. It is nice how they search for supernova's, I would like to see a supernova. It's cool how light can't even escape black holes, but why can't we see them? It's dangerous for us if we ever go to space, I wish we don't get sucked in... What happens when your in a black hole? What if there was some living creature there?

Sarah

I think the website was very informing. There was a lot a information I learned from this website.

Mark Nashed said...

I thought it was very interesting. I learned it is almost impossible to get hit by am meteor

i think that this website gives alot of information and that its amazing what they discovered just with the hubble telescope

JOHN said...

this website informed me of intesting things. it was very informal

Anonymous said...

this website is very informational and interesting.

Ryan C said...

on this website i looked at the xray. I put the xray on the sun that was yellow and on the inside it was all red.

Claudia is awsome said...

i think when u get sucked into a black hole you get dropped out into another universe

McKenna said...

This is so cool, how many discoveries the Hubble has found. The short videos on it's website are very interesting, especially the one about the two galaxies colliding!

Mrs.Bieber said...

justin bieber is my husband <3

Nikole said...

I have a lot of questions about a black hole that havent been discovered yet. what will happen if you get stuck in one or what if one was near us? no one can go in one because you would get sucked in a die? Maybe in the future we will be able to see what is inside a black hole. What if the re is a magical world or if it is just pitch black?

Anonymous said...

i think when u get sucked into a black hole u the presure would instantly kill you but if for some reason you were to survive you would come out of another galaxy ;*

Divit the Digit said...

black holes are very cool and i wonder if it takes u to a parralel universe

Gracee Kim said...

It was really cool to learn that the earth was too hot for even atoms to exist, and very dense. To learn that our huge earth was once as small as a grain eas weird to read about. It finally expanded and got cooler like it is now.

Paulina Q. said...

Black holes are very dangerous, its gravitational force is so strong that not even light escapes it. once an object goes through a black hole, it is never to be seen again. I think its dangerous for astronauts to go into space because what if they get sucked into a black hole? is it possible?

steven prado,christian gucci,justin behnke said...

this is news 12 in artica {the counttry} writing from steven prado studios everyone so ok i think black holes are cool,and they are beast.but if i had to say so my self i do not want to get pulled in because i will die ! and i dont want to die!back to cristian gucci;black holes are crazy and they could suck james down in 10 second flat ;back to justin behnke;ok black holes are very powerfull and could suck you in,in one second if you are in range im justin behnke reporting live from california

James Blair said...

The gallery at the hubble is fantastic. Some of the pictures don't look like things in space and I think it's amazing that they took so many pictures from all over the universe. I think that the pictures can help NASA and ISS find out a lot about space from these pictures. I also think that the pictures are more helpful than the ISS' $60 billion plan an dit probably cost a fraction of the price.

steven prado james blairr...... said...

this is from fox 5 reporting from space ;the gallery picture are very amazing ,but the iss is too much money 60 billion dollars thats crazy back to the fox 5 manager james blair what does he have to say?ok i want to say that the gallery is fabulous and the iss is ridicolous because that money is wasted on there plan and the money is better spent on curing deadly diseases ok this is fox 5 going to a comercial

steven pradooooooooooooooo said...

i think the looking from a telescope at the hubble is really cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!also that the iss is wasting too much money

ps:now that justin behnke kicked me off news 12 i am crying so i made a new show call newst 1000 its on channel 1000

ZoHeB jAvEd ;):(::) said...

I think $60 billion dollors is worth it because the ISS give knolage about life in outerspace!

Chelsea said... said...

It is so cool how the hubble got so much information like i didn't know that an asteriod hit Venus in 2009

Anonymous said...

I thought the games were really lame and were stupid. Who wants to play with a cow jumping around space. I mean we're not 5 years old! The games should be fun and not boring. I think it was a waist of a period to play boring games and not learn anything. Trust me and don't play the games, they're as pointless as a broken pencil. Hehehehe

CAROLINE :D said...

The hubble website was amazing!!! I went to the galery and the pictures were awesome! There was a picture of a supernova and planets. I also went on this thing which shows you about black holes it was reall cool.

Jenny Garino said...

the pictures in the gallery were really cool! some didnt look like they realistic but they were cool anyway! i took the black hole journey it was really cool. my favorite picture was the picture of the supernova it was a cool picture...well thats it for me...

idk if this will work

Jenny Garino said...

nooooooooo i didnt work!!! ok im done.......sad face :(

Clare said...

I Thought the hubble website was very fun. I enjoyed the cow game and got most of the questions correct. I also looked at the black holes power point and found it very iteresting and I think I learned alot that I didnt know and reconized things I did. I also read about the Hubble telescope and learned it was launched in 1990 and that its one of there most succesul long lasting missions. To be honest I thought I would not learn anything in the game but I did also I liked the fact they gave you different questions if you did not get the first ones. I also saw really cool pictures that the Hubble telescope took! I also thought it was awesome that the Hubble found so many discoveries and how far we have come in the years! :D ;)

Emily said...

The website was okay. It wasn't really fun but mostly about facts about blackholes and stuff. The cows in space were not very interesting they were for little kids, I think the website should have been more exciting. I didn't like the game choices because they weren't fun or cool.

Gauri said...

I think that the hubble website was really interesting. The cosmic collisions was a very interesting video about Mikly Way and Andromeda colliding and then that is the end of the Milky Way.

Anonymous said...

who ever likes this website is a looser

David Tangredi said...

it was cool

Matthew Giannella said...

It was really interesting to learn about black holes.I was very surprised when I found out all of the information scientists knew, when you can not go anywhere near them! Luckily, we are light years away from a black hole, so they are no threat to us.

Tristen said...

The scientists are confusing me and i dont get how they missed the so called "Dark-Energy" if they were looking exactlyat the coast. How is it moving so fast to expand if it even that old? I think that because usually things that maybe get old or tired they move slower than they were. Maybe if we had a machine or a camera and remote controlled a spacecraft we could actually see the outer part of our galaxy. I think we need something that wont die halfway through... that wont even die at all to get out there and start searching for that coast and seeing for real if it is moving so fast or so slow but to our eyes theyre slow.

Ian and Brian said...

We think that if they were in space for more than a year they would start losing oxygen. We also think that they would lose lots of food and they would go hungry. It would also cause them having shortage of supplies. Also,if somebody was sick it would take a long time to travel back to earth because they might not be in the condition they should be in.:D

Carra and Mansi said...

the hubble website was really cool! it had games, quizes and facts!! it was very interesting too!! we think that the quiz helped us learn alot more in a very fun way!!!! Go check out the website!!

gianna cantone said...

i learned about the tecnoligy about taking pictures of different planets and what certian types of cameras they used so that the tecnoligy wouldnt explode or melt.

Rida said...

I found about the big bang theory, how the universe was made, it was pretty cool! I didn't know that the Earth wasn't even created yet. Also the Way Out game was really fun, i liked the idea of a cow that had jumped over a moon and continued it's journey!
-Rida

I played the black hole game. For they most part the game kind of did everything for you. Then an attatchment to the game was to make a black hole. I thought this was cool because you can scale the planets size up or down so that you can see what happens when you get to the pount where you either become a white dwarf or a black hole. Over all i guess it was pretty cool

gianna cantone said...

i learned about the tecnoligy about taking pictures of different planets and what certian types of cameras they used so that the tecnoligy wouldnt explode or melt.

Ian and Brian said...

We found a video about the black hole. It showed a game where you choose things to go faster and reach the destination. Another thing we leard was that in one point in our galaxy, it would collide with each other.

Jonathon Ho :3 said...

(hi to brian and ian above)
I watched a video/game about black holes, and our galaxys. About the black holes is that, light cannot even escape it, and inside it looks very demented. The ones about our galaxies are that the andromeda galaxy is SO close to us, that our galaxys may collide and create one big galaxy. Our sun and the planets around it will fly through space for a very long time.

brianag said...

In my Opinoin the website was intresting. It was intresting because it showed me the discovery of planets beyond. Also i showed me the dark energy.

Jennifer and Ashley said...

We thought that the Hubble website was quite interesting and we did learn a couple things about space and the other planets on the "Way Out! Quiz". One thing we learned was that there is evidence that water once flowed on the planet, Mars.

Jack T said...

The hubble website was pretty good because I went through planets like Neptune and Mars.Plus i saw nebulas and black hole and you got to create a black hole.

Gianna T. Julianna R. said...

In my opinion, the website was cool to see the planets we have discovered that are so far away from Earth. The technology to travel to even FARTHER planes would most likely be more expensive than in the past. That said, I don't believe traveling to undiscovered planets should be top priority. There are people starving, kids fighting cancer, and plenty of people fighting disease.
~Julianna R. and Gianna T.

Jonathan said...

the teliscope is very vauble for the amount of nolage. And i think can be strenthened to loke farther into space

nicole s said...

one of the problems is that is the space craft went out of control it would possibly move farther away from earth and it would take longer to get home. one of the health problems is that u wouldnt get enough excersise and enough food. to prevent these problems there may be better techlonogy

G3orge said...

The "find the black hole" activity is interesting

MaRcOs said...

MaRc0s said...
missing food you like as in cookies. they will not use their legs and how are they supposed to exercise? this is the most coolest thing I ever seen!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think they need to exercise their legs and arms so there muscles cant go away.

Sakina and Victoria said... :D said...

This website is SO COOL!!!! We checked out the gallery and saw these really amazing pictures. Sakina says she likes the one of the dog star and the nebulas. Victoria agrees!!! :) We find it fascinating how technology has showed us all these cool things about space that we didn't know before. :)

im a robot yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa know34 bow down

mahdi, matt tse, jordan t said...

the hubble telescope is amazing that it could see black holes. this is amazing because the black hole can suck up anything even light.

Matt Akdemir said...

I think it is pretty cool that you can go into another dimension like that but, I think it'll be very dangerous.

brandan said...

Edwin Hubble is a really smart guy

gio lograsso said...

gio says...............

It is so cool that it can take pictures of a black hole and not get sucked up. if we did go into a black hole it would be cool if we went into another dimension.

john wund said...

by john wund
it is so cool that the hubble teliscope can take pictures of a black hole considering black holes are invisible because they suck up light around it. maybe one day the teliscope will bet sucked into a black hole and we will see what will happen

Cavin Gada said...

I have learned that the Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990. Also that the Hubble Space Telescope prbits the earth daily.It also gave hundreds of thousands of images to scientists to explore or galaxy and others. It helped us learn about dark matter/energy. The Hubble SPace Telescope helped us age our univurse, but once again we can't be completely sure if it's wrong. Right? One question i have about the Hubble Space Telescope is how did it get the name? What does Hubble mean?

Michelle Lee said...

So much stuff to know!!! But the black holes is the most intresting thing. I found out that the sun and Earth would never be black holes. WHEW!

raffy and simran said...

we think the hubble telescpoe is interseting but a little boring. we thought it would be more exciting. thats it

John H said...

the dark energy film was.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamie S, Mihiika, Gia said...

I think that if we got sucked into a black hole, we would die because there is no oxygen or atmosphere. I also believe that when or if we get sucked in, life on Earth, or in our atmosphere wouldnt continue therefore, our species would be extinct.

Jason b, gabriel p, lily a, arna c said...

The most interesting we learned is how,fortunately, the Earth and the Sun will never be black holes.
