The Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 (Russian: Кольская сверхглубокая скважина СГ-3, romanized: Kol'skaya sverkhglubokaya skvazhina SG-3) is the deepest human-made hole on Earth (since 1979), which attained maximum true vertical depth of 12,262 metres (40,230 ft; 7.619 mi) in 1989. [1]
The Xiaozhai Tiankeng has been well known to local people since ancient times. Xiaozhai is the name of an abandoned village nearby and means "little village", and "Tiankeng" means Heavenly Pit, a unique regional name for sinkholes in China. A 2,800-step staircase has been constructed in order to facilitate tourism. [2]
The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses ( M ☉ ), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms .
On Tuesday, July 12, NASA is set to release images from the James Webb Space Telescope, that are truly out of this world. The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's largest and most powerful ...
NASA followed this up on Tuesday with more mind-boggling photos from the great expanse of outer space. The "deep field" image gleans a look at a point in space 4.6 billion light-years away from Earth.
Scientists using an ocean drilling vessel have dug the deepest hole ever in rock from Earth's mantle - penetrating 4,160 feet (1,268 meters) below the Atlantic seabed - and obtained a large sample ...
A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Microscopium voids the size of (redshift) 1250 km/s appears to exist. This is roughly 1/2 of Microscopium's diameter. [11] Ophiuchus Void: near 17 h −25° < 5000 km/s (the outer limit) perhaps 0–5000 km/s 25% of average universe density is the void density of matter.
Indeed, while TBJH was initially discovered in 2021, scientists only measured its depth down to 900 feet due to limitations in the echo-sounder technology — which calculates speed based on sound ...
