Black Hole Animation: Find Trustworthy Links for Astronomy Presentation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding reliable animations depicting travel into a black hole for an astronomy presentation. User Jeff requests trustworthy links and shares two specific resources: the Colorado University site and NASA's animation page. Additionally, he recalls a quiz-based animation that illustrates the speeds required to reach a black hole, featuring both stellar mass and supermassive black holes, although it does not include crossing the event horizon.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics and general relativity
  • Familiarity with astronomy presentation tools
  • Knowledge of reputable astronomy resources and websites
  • Basic skills in evaluating online educational content
NEXT STEPS
  • Research NASA's educational resources on black holes
  • Explore animations available on the Colorado University website
  • Investigate interactive quizzes related to black hole travel
  • Learn about the physics of crossing the event horizon
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy educators, students preparing presentations, and anyone interested in visualizing black hole phenomena.

Hello

I'm looking for an animation showing the travel into a black hole. I need a trustable one for an astronomy presentation. Can someone tell me some interesting links ?

Thanks,
Jeff

I've seen at least one one more in recent months, but I can't remember where now, maybe NASA, I'm not sure. It took the form of a quiz: it asked what speed to accelerate to reach your destination in a reasonable time, stuff like that. I think there was the option of seeing a stellar mass black hole and the supermassive one at the center of the galaxy. Then it had animations of each seen close-up, although not I think of crossing the event horizon.
