NASA has released a mind-bending animation that lets you experience falling into a black hole
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video shows how a flight around a black hole would look like, not falling into a black hole.

Thought I would summarise why there is so much excitement in the space weather community right now. There’s a monstrous sunspot group on the Sun that’s massive enough to be visible to the naked eye (please use eclipse glasses) 🌞 👓 (1/n)
Check out this really cool picture taken at our Eric Tomney Observatory by brilliant @mcnalu at @MugdockPark. Showcasing the solar activity behind all the celestial phenomena!

It sure would be nice if someone was hosting a free lecture on the very topic of solar physics in the midst of all the solar flare hype and aurora fun.. oh wait it's happening next Thursday!! 😏🌞
This is such an irresistible topic—from the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1992 to today, where we can gather so much information thanks to dedicated scientists. There is so much potential for life to be uncovered. What a time to be alive!

Astronomers using the #JWST discovered a cold, isolated brown dwarf named W1935 emitting infrared methane, challenging expectations as it lacks a host star. 1/
