- Is the angular size of the black hole in the movie interstellar . . .
I assume everybody is tired of reading questions derived from the movie Interstellar, I will try to keep this short and simple: In general in movies, in order to have stunning visuals, celestial objects are displayed as if they were extremely close to the observers, having a enormous apparent angular size
- Interstellar Dust properties - Astronomy Stack Exchange
Interstellar extinction curves of the Milky Way (RV = 2 75, 3 1, 4 0, 5 5 R V = 2 75, 3 1, 4 0, 5 5) There exist considerable regional variations in the Galactic optical UV extinction curves, as characterized by the total-to-selective extinction ratio RV R V, indicating that dust grains on different sightlines have different size distributions
- What are the differences between Intergalactic Medium, Interstellar . . .
The interstellar medium (ISM) is, as you say, the gas (and dust) in between the stars, within a galaxy It consists of molecular, neutral and ionized gas, with densities ranging from ∼10−3 ∼ 10 3 to ∼106 ∼ 10 6 particles per cm 3 3 and temperatures ranging from a few K up to 10,000 or 20,000 K The molecular gas is the coldest and densest, usually found in molecular clouds The
- Can it be predicted if an Interstellar Object will get bound to the . . .
Recently I've reading there are only 2 known Interstellar Objects Suppose another one appears which will cross the solar system at some point, could it be predicted if it will get bound to the solar
- How cold is interstellar space? - Astronomy Stack Exchange
The density of the interstellar medium is so very, very low that radiation losses completely dominate over conduction from the medium The interstellar medium can be very hot precisely because it is a gas (gases are a bit weird), and because it is extremely tenuous (extremely tenuous gases are beyond weird)
- How can we know the density of particles in interstellar or . . .
The density of material in the interstellar medium is inferred from (i) the electromagnetic radiation it emits; (ii) its effect on electromagnetic radiation passing through it Often these approaches are combined to learn about different "phases" of the interstellar medium - e g hot, cold, high, or low density, ionised or not For example, we can learn about how much atomic hydrogen there is
- What is a Gentle Giant Black Hole? - Astronomy Stack Exchange
A similar phrase, "gentle singularity," is used in the movie Interstellar There has been some discussion about that, in which the consensus seems to be that the size of a supermassive black hole reduces the tidal forces at the event horizon, such that a falling entity would not be spaghettified
- interstellar travel - How do we know about the origin of ʻOumuamua . . .
How do we know that ʻOumuamua is interstellar and not otherwise? I fail to understand the logic that the extraordinary speed of the object proves it to be of interstellar origin, and that our sun's gravity failed to capture it
