Astronomers watch a black hole's corona disappear, then reappear
- lawlessone 6y agoThis kinda reminds of when watching a flame from a a gas source, sometimes where the bottom of the flame starts shifts up and down.

- vortex_ape 6y agoNice introductory TED talk on "How to find black holes" by one of the co-authors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idsj47D719E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idsj47D719E
- DisjointedHunt 6y agoIf you have a pressure cooker at home, boil some chickpeas for a couple of whistles, wait 3 minutes, take the cover off, put it back on the stove and stir fast. You will see all the steam doing the dance and shooting out like you'd expect from a black hole. I'm not sure if only spinning Black Holes have a corona or even static ones do, that may be an interesting point to ponder. The chickpeas stew is yum as well after (1 part chickpeas, two parts water) :)
- Fjolsvith 6y agoMy guess is the black hole was used for an interstellar gate by an alien ship warping into local space.
