White Holes....

Mind Blowing Facts About White Holes Introduction Black holes  are difficult enough to understand, but it gets much worse: also known as an “impossible possibility”, a white hole is a hypothetical, celestial body that emits energy—in the manner of a time-reversed black hole. In simpler language, a white hole is the opposite of a black hole. While a black hole sucks in all matter that crosses its event horizon, a white hole explosively pours out all the matter that was initially lost in the black hole. This is a hypothetical concept, and can be quite difficult to wrap our heads around. But hopefully, by the end of this list, we’d have learnt a lot more about this fascinating phenomenon. The Opposite of a Black Hole A black hole is a region in space-time with such high density and gravitational pull that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Once an object crosses its event horizon, it undergoes a gruesome-sounding process called spaghettification, and is lost

Simulacrum in Eagle Nebula The  Eagle Nebula  (catalogued as  Messier  16  or  M16 , and as  NGC 6611 , and also known as the  Star Queen Nebula  and  The Spire ) is a young  open cluster of  stars  in the  constellation   Serpens , discovered by  Jean-Philippe de Chéseaux in 1745–46. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula,  an area made famous as the " Pillars of Creation " photographed by the  Hubble Space Telescope . The nebula contains several active  star-forming   gas and dust  regions, including the Pillars of Creation.   Characteristics... The Eagle Nebula is part of a diffuse  emission nebula , or  H II region , which is catalogued as  IC 4703 . This region of active current star formation is about 7000  light-years  distant. A  spire  of gas that can be seen coming off the  nebula  in the northeastern part is approximately 9.5 light-years or about
