How do we know so much about black holes and entities outside our solar system when?

Question

What probes/telescopes are used and how is this data recived as credible?

Answer 1

A lot of it is done using telescopes and such, but certain things tip off researchers such as the densities of certain parts of space. Black holes are the most dense object in the universe. In fact, their densities are so great that the gravitational pull creating by such such dense matter can even bend light into it. Like chemistry, it's all a kind of crap shoot. We don't really know what atoms or molecules look like, but by analysis we take the best guess of what we think it should look like. Astronomers do pretty much the same thing with data received from outer space. You almost have to take the highest probability of what something seems and go with that until you find another answer that can disprove the initial research

Answer 2

The Hubble Telescope has sent back some incredible views of the Universe! Check it out on the NASA website, especially THE EYE OF GOD! The rest is theory that carl sagin and some other top astronomers argue about

Answer 3

Areceibo in Puetro Rico, the VLA (Very Large Array) both radio telescopes, Hubble Telescope, we have many, many satellites whose only jobs are collecting space data, such as Universal Background Radiation, Gamma Ray detection, neutrino's, etc.

Then we use our greatest gift of all, our brains and then computers to crunch the numbers and use our deductive skills. Physics isn't Magic, it has rules, and things follow these rules in order to make sense.

Answer 4

it would should be an quite small black hollow or it may grow to be the established member of the image voltaic equipment. and countless different circumstances the dimensions of the solar may be about as small as you in all likelihood can extremely assume. If it were Jupiter sized i'd be fearful about disruption of the Oort cloud. there is in all likelihood nevertheless sufficient fabric obtainable to make the heavy, previous due bombardment look like a tender bathe. And that liquified the Earth. i'd problem about all the x-rays we may in all likelihood get blasted with because the black hollow ate aspects of the Oort cloud too. .

Answer 5

Search the Web for the "Cassini-Hyugen Satellite" to Saturn and or the Hubble Telescope or the newly discovered astrol body SEDNA (VB12). You may even wish to visit www.nineplanets.org

Answer 6

haha, right on jones, carl sagan was a beast... anyway, to answer your question, we use many different tools... the Hubble Space Telescope (which is orbiting earth), the Very Large Array (VLA), the Green Bank Telescope, and hundreds of other orbiting satellites & ground-based telescopes

Answer 7

It's called observation. You can ascertain a body's mass by observing how gravity acts upon it... You can tell it's composition by using a mass spectrometer. Different elements absorbs and reflect different parts of the spectrum.

Telescopes and probes confirm that the laws of physics are the same everywhere in the observable universe. If "God" is trying to tell us something, his language is science and mathematics.

Answer 8

Hubble telescope

Answer 9

this would've been an excellent question for Stephen Hawke. i think it's mostly conjecture on the part of scientists, Carl Sagan...where are you???

Answer 10

Pat_M is right. We don't know crap! There is a whole bunch of speculation though.
