Ready to plunge into a black hole?⁣ ⁣ NASA supercomputers produced this immersive visualization that allows you to dive in without it becoming a one-way trip. The destination: a black hole, similar in size to the one at the heart of the Milky Way.⁣ ⁣ As you get closer to the black hole, your speed climbs until it approaches the speed of light — the cosmic speed limit! The glow from the stars in the background and from the disk of hot material surrounding the black hole becomes amplified, growing brighter and whiter. The effect is similar to how the sound of an oncoming racecar rises in pitch.⁣ ⁣ Along the way, the black hole’s disk and the night sky become increasingly distorted and even form multiple images as their light crosses the increasingly-warped space-time.⁣ ⁣ This 400-million-mile (640-million-km) trip would take you about 3 hours. It’s quite a ride — and you’d only get to do it once if this wasn’t a simulation!⁣ ⁣ If you’d like more content like this, be sure to follow ...
