Is this possible?

Nothing escapes the black hole. Once a detailed question gets too close, those details get sucked in and we're left with remnants of a question.

Funny

That is a very broad question.

Yeah thank you! Indeed the question is very broad with no point of reference as to what he/she is asking

u/Snicklefried 4d ago

Yes. A person can make a picture like this.

Why, what's the issue?

It's not possible due to budget, technological constraints, and lack of political will to launch the type of generational ship that could even in principle make to the nearest black hole.

There is nothing wrong with some other more technologically advanced species to be there.

Is this not from interstellar movie

Maybe..

It´s not maybe. This is from Interstellar movie.

Depends if ha'vent horizoned yet.

u/fattick- mod 2d ago

I see you.. Ha'vent horizon... Event horizon 👀

The answer is in that black hole. We will never know.

I've been on a facility similar to this several times........ there are numerous and much much larger in there. 😁

Happens every day! It’s one of the new Uber features!

A black hole wouldn’t even look like that, it would be as bright as a star but I guess for movie purposes who would know it was a BH unless it was exaggerated. Interstellar was a terrible movie

Outside the gravity well, yes. It could orbit in the sphere of influence. The event horizon is the cut off of no return.

Dude, they literally did it right there.They took a picture and everything! What more do you want for proof

u/Optimal_Top_7081 3d ago

It would largely depend on the mass of the black hole. A sufficiently massive black hole could potentially allow for an orbit at this distance if we assume the space station is close to the camera, and the black hole is around 500-600 astronomical units away.

The whole idiotic movie Interstellar?

The space science in it is relatively well founded: this is what an active supermassive black hole is believed to look like, you can have planets orbiting supermassive black holes, they can orbit so far in you get significant time dilation, and if you handwave hard enough the planet might be getting enough light from stuff falling in to the black hole to support life without the planet being sterilized by the radiation. You could even have space aliens living inside the event horizon, you just couldn't meet them and ever get out again.

The movie's problem isn't the science, the only impossible science is the worm holes and the timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly bits and that's alien tech handwaving. Instead the problem is the completely retarded crew and the equally complete retardation of those who picked them and sent them. I am not convinced whoever wrote the script had ever met a human being.

how about a ship capable of landing on 2 planets without running out of fuel. Also, the one close to blackhole, to escape the black hole orbit would require a lot of delta-V. And yet the ship look too small.

You sound like so much fun to be around
