The Tiny Dots in This Image Aren't Stars or Galaxies. They're Black Holes

The Great Wall of China, often cited as the only human-made structure visible from space, is not visible from low Earth orbit without magnification, and even then can be seen only under perfect conditions.

But you can see the Pyramids of Giza!

I opened this thread expecting to see a map of the US at night where all the blue cities are lit up.
Black holes are everywhere, and they vote for communists.

[usurper]

I once had a pet black hole. I can’t figure out where I left it.

I think you left it in the Albert Hall.

[BobL]

FAKE NEWS! I’ve seen plenty of pictures of black holds and plenty of pictures of stars - these are stars.

The black holes will devour each other until we end up with ONE massive gigantic black hole. When that happens, the gravitational forces will keep compressing that black hole until it reaches the critical level, and then it will explode in another big bang. And the cycle will repeat all over again.

fantastic link, thanks for posting

The universe is incredibly massive, too massive to fully comprehend. But what I like to say is that when it is compared to Obamas ego, the universe is incredibly small, too small to fully comprehend by comparison.

"I am THE ONE! I AM the One!"

If the universe is closed and everything within it will all collapse back together in a “big crunch” far in the future, then we are indeed inside the event horizon of a huge black hole right now.

Great. Give the democrats new places to hide their fake ballots after the next election. Thanks a lot…

[entropy12]

It is because the Chicoms painted the wall to a different color!~

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

What if the entire universe is just a component of a quark inside a proton of an atom of a molecule that is inside the zit on the face of a giant Pelosi?

[Red Badger]

Just think, every atom in your body has been in existence since the Big Bang!.....................

[The Duke]

Yeah, every time I hear “dark matter” I think “fudge factor”.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Obama wouldn't agree with that because he thinks he's God

[Rurudyne]

Nicely Anamaniaced.

[HonorInPa]

It is clear that he studied the techniques taught by Mesmer, who also was studied by Hitler. The pose and the cadence are learned to “mesmerize” a crowd. See the Nuremburg rallies.

“We are so small in the universe.”

And they want us to worry about global warming.

Pffft...

“When they’re just hanging out not doing much, black holes don’t give off any detectable radiation, making them much harder to find. When a black hole is actively accreting material – spooling it in from a disc of dust and gas that circles it much as water circles a drain – the intense forces involved generate radiation across multiple wavelengths that we can detect across the vastness of space.”

These verses in Psalms 19 came to mind:
Psalm 19:1-4(a) (NIV)
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world

[Carriage Hill]

LOL! We sure have some good ones here.
We also have only two seasons: Winter & Construction.

[Hebrews 11:6]

When they're just hanging out not doing much

LOL--they should clock in and get to work.

Remarkable research. Rather like the XDF, a useful overview or census.
