Why don't we just crash all the waste that we made into the sun? It sounds a really good idea to take all the nuclear waste or any waste into the sun, right? The truth is it is harder to crash into the sun than to go to Pluto! Ask how? Reason #1 Well, this all has to do with the fact that the earth is spinning at a speed of 1000 miles per hour (1600 kilometers per hour). So, if you want to get to the sun, you have to go 1000 miles backward and then go to the sun. Just to show you how fast 1000 miles per hour, it is about 16.67 miles per second! So, get to get to the sun, you need to go 16.67 miles per second backward, and then go to the sun. That's why missions to the sun first went to Jupiter and then came to the sun.  Reason #2 Not only is it hard to get to the sun because of the spin of the earth but also because it is very dangerous to put all the nuclear waste into a spaceship because spaceships have a tendency to blast when lunching and if it explodes in ...

Hello Astronomy Enthusiasts, Like I said in my last blog post that I am going to write about what I know about things in astronomy. Today, I am going to tell you about Black Holes, an interesting topic which I love and hope you will too. What are Black Holes? Basically, Black Holes are things that bend space-time extremely and create an area that nothing escapes. Like not even light! The last spot you can be as close to the black hole and not be caught is called the event horizon. It's kind of like a border to the black hole. To understand what it is, you need to know what space-time is. Since objects with gravity bend space-time, black holes bend space-time too. not like the sun or the earth. Million times of our sun. Since the black holes are really huge in gravity the holes bend space-time in an extreme order and it's like putting a bowling ball on a soft, thin sheet of fabric. because of this anything that goes in can't come out because anything is not strong enou...
