minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•1 day agoHow large would the event horizon of such a black hole be?
minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilinkEnglish14•edit-21 day agoI just hopped on this calculator and it says about 710.9 AU, or 106,348,555,982 km (66,081,929,023 miles). So pretty big.
minus-square@Gradually_AdjustinglinkEnglish13•1 day agoOh my word. 30 AU is roughly the distance to Neptune, so this black hole is almost 24x the diameter of our solar system. Pretty big, yeah.
minus-squarethreelonmusketeerslinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-223 hours agoWhat’s the distance to Proxima Centauri? Edit: It’s 268553 AU.
minus-square@Gradually_AdjustinglinkEnglish3•24 hours agoIs this what we do now that Google sucks, just ask each other what Wikipedia says? It’s uh, 4.2465 ± 0.0003 light years by the way.
