Fun Fact Friday

 Hello, my favorite earthlings, we are back again to perform some amazing science experiments with one of our favorite lab rats and that is none other than our sun. So, what should we do with him today?  How about, using the sun as the batteries for our car or our television, in other words, we would be using literal solar energy directly captured from the sun and using that very energy in our day-to-day use.  Well, something this crazy thought can only arise in the mind of a bond villain, but actually, this idea was first thought of by a Russian physicist named Dyson Sphere .   First, let's understand where this idea emerges from... This idea goes way back to 1839 with Edmond Becquerel, a young physicist working in France observed and discovered the photovoltaic effect- a process that produces a voltage or electric current when exposed to light or radiant energy, this was something that would change the ways humanity thinks about creating energy and push us to greater heights of c

 WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE? A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying. Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. They are invisible. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently than other stars. Could a Black Hole Destroy Earth? Black holes do not go around in space, eating stars, moons, and planets. Earth will not fall into a black hole because no black hole is close enough to the solar system for Earth to do that. Even if a black hole the same mass as the sun were to take the place of the sun, Earth still would not fall in. The black hole would have the same gravity as the sun. Earth and the other planets would orbit the black hole as they orbit the sun now. The sun will never turn into a black hole.
