A map of the Boötes Void. The Boötes Void (/ b oʊ ˈ oʊ t iː z / boh-OH-teez) (colloquially referred to as the Great Nothing) [1] is an approximately spherical region of space found in the vicinity of the constellation Boötes, containing only 60 galaxies instead of the 2,000 that should be expected from an area this large, hence its name.
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 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.
This hard-to-find rusty cap in the ruins of a building in Russia's Kola Peninsula covers the deepest hole on earth. The scientists drilled it off and on for 24 years from 1970 to 1994. They got ...
On July 11, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a big hole on the surface of the sun. Tom Yulsman who writes for Discover's ImaGeo blog notes that there is no reason for people to be concerned.
Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest object in the universe, a quasar with a black hole at its heart growing so fast that it swallows the equivalent of a sun a day. The black hole ...
ULAS J1342+0928 is the third-most distant known quasar detected and contains the second-most distant and oldest known supermassive black hole, [1] [5] [6] [7] at a reported redshift of z = 7.54. The ULAS J1342+0928 quasar is located in the Boötes constellation . [ 3 ]
Drilling holes does not provide direct evidence against the hypothesis. The deepest hole drilled to date is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, [58] with a true vertical drill-depth of around 12 km (7.5 mi). However, the distance to the center of the Earth is nearly 6,400 km (4,000 mi). [59]
