Animation of Supernova Producing a Black Hole

This animation shows how a black hole may have formed in SN 1979C. The
collapse of a massive star is shown, after it has exhausted its fuel. A
flash of light from a shock breaking through the surface of the star is
then shown, followed by a powerful supernova explosion. The view then
zooms into the center of the explosion.

Does anyone realize how insane this is that we even know enough to see this!? It's like witnessing a portal to infinity.

So does the neutron star really convert like that? Like, turning off a light bulb? That fast? I “thought” it would start dimming until it reaches singularity

[@lolanean6727]

I think its extremely sped up because it takes a lot of time but idk man

[@deathbyfire135]

I don't see why not. Once all the light outside the old perimeter of the star (the new event horizon) reaches us, there's no follow up light. So it just suddenly goes dark. Like how stars in the night sky suddenly disappear when all the light from them finally reaches us

[@graymars1097]

@@deathbyfire135 oh wow 😯 you're right that's very likely actually! Woah! 10 months later I get a very good comment 👍 thanks mate 🙏

[@Oceancat01]

Honestly the terrifying part is that it’s all silent, with the vacuum if anyone ever sees this in person there will be no sound to it

[@stevenarvizu3602]

This isn’t a neutron star, it’s just a star. A neutron star is a _result_ of a star exploding, and is a possibility just like the creation of a black hole. Supermassive stars can either explode, explode and then condense their electrons into the neutrons and become a neutron star, or they can explode and then collapse in on themselves into infinite density and become a black hole. What you watched was the last scenario, a black hole being born from the collapse of a supermassive star called SN 1979C. Edit: Also yes it happens that fast, actually a bit faster, it usually collapses in less than half a second. So usually the collapse is faster than you can blink your eye. This happens because the core of the star which would be iron at this point would be so insanely dense that the gravitational pull would no longer be hindered by the fusion that was keeping the star from collapsing in on itself in the first place, and suddenly the entire star would experience a gravitational pull thousands, if not millions of times greater than what we feel on Earth.

I came here to see if a star would suddenly in a split second just turn completely black. I wasn't disappointed.

[@memz4519]

i like the sounds!

[@einsteinhg3151]

Imagine nasa having so little comments

[@blockedinchina6015]

I can't tell if that thing is expanding or the camera is zooming.

[@Chinchuchwei_sr]

I think it kinda just jumps in time it’s not like a 1:1 simulation like the spiral forms from all the red matter I’m assuming it’s not instant but this video is a super fast timelapse

[@tygical]

camera zooming

Would be crazy to see a star shrink like that. even if you are at a safe distance it would probably be the last thing you see after going blind.

[@SMCwasTaken]

Sephiroth really got stronger

[@A-404Failsafe]

This isn't a supernova its too strong to be that it should be a Gamma Rah Burst which happens when a neutron star collides with a black hole or when a star forms a black hole

Where's the gamma ray burst

[@mtacthecool2024]

0:14 that turned into a black Hole in a vecosecond💀

[@RandomEditsOfThings]

I think it’s from white hole to black hole, @NASA video heart and reply if it’s true please

[@maxjelley4055]

No, I’m pretty sure that it’s still under intense gravitational pressure throughout and transitions from a neutron star or white dwarf into a singularity with an event horizon of the same diameter. The other possible explanation is that the black hole is always there and it’s the superheated gas that glows before being sucked into an accretion disc, hence the white to black switch.
