![]() ![]() The Sun will never turn into a black hole because it is not massive enough to explode. What if the Sun turned into a black hole? Image credit: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss | More info ›Ħ. This gas forms a disk of hot gas around the black hole, and the wind is driven off this disk at 20 million mph, or about 3% the speed of light. This artist's impression shows how the strong gravity of the black hole, on the left, is pulling gas away from a companion star on the right. NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory detected record-breaking wind speeds coming from a disk around a black hole. But scientists have observed black holes ripping stars apart, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy. At the same time, the immense gravity of the black hole would compress you horizontally and stretch you vertically like a noodle, which is why scientists call this phenomenon (no joke) "spaghettification."įortunately, this has never happened to anyone - black holes are too far away to pull in any matter from our solar system. It certainly wouldn't be good! But what we know about the interior of black holes comes from Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.įor black holes, distant observers will only see regions outside the event horizon, but individual observers falling into the black hole would experience quite another "reality." If you got into the event horizon, your perception of space and time would entirely change. What would happen if you fell into a black hole? When a star passes close enough to be swallowed by a black hole, the stellar material is stretched and compressed as it is pulled in, releasing an enormous amount of energy. The black hole is surrounded by a ring of dust. This illustration shows a glowing stream of material from a star disrupted as it was being devoured by a supermassive black hole. It can take less than a billion years for one to reach a very large size, but it is unknown how long it takes them to form, generally. ![]() More mysterious are the giant black holes found at the centers of galaxies - the "supermassive" black holes, which can weigh millions or billions of times the mass of the Sun. Mergers like these also make black holes quickly, and produce ripples in space-time called gravitational waves. A neutron star can also merge with a black hole to make a bigger black hole, or two black holes can collide. ![]() These relatively small black holes can also be made through the merger of two dense stellar remnants called neutron stars. How long does it take to make a black hole?Ī stellar-mass black hole, with a mass of tens of times the mass of the Sun, can likely form in seconds, after the collapse of a massive star. Because its light had to travel a very long distance, scientists were observing it at a period when the universe was less than 2 billion years old, just 14% of its current age (almost 14 billion years have passed since the Big Bang). The galaxy’s mass, however, is considered normal. The black hole at the galaxy’s center is nearly 7 billion times the mass of our Sun, placing it among the most massive black holes discovered. In 2015, researchers discovered a black hole named CID-947 that grew much more quickly than its host galaxy. The immense gravity of black holes also distorts space itself, so it is possible to see the influence of an invisible gravitational pull on stars and other objects. ![]() Matter is heated to millions of degrees as it is pulled toward the black hole, so it glows in X-rays. NASA's telescopes that study black holes are looking at the surrounding environments of the black holes, where there is material very close to the event horizon. No light of any kind, including X-rays, can escape from inside the event horizon of a black hole, the region beyond which there is no return. How can we learn about black holes if they trap light, and can't actually be seen? Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Roma Tre Univ.ġ. This supermassive black hole has been extensively studied due to its relatively close proximity to our galaxy. The X-ray light is coming from an active supermassive black hole, also known as a quasar, in the center of the galaxy. High-energy X-rays (magenta) captured by NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, are overlaid on visible-light images from both NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Galaxy NGC 1068 is shown in visible light and X-rays in this composite image. ![]()

Getting to the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The players just had to focus on the Ligue 1 title and they did so with a 3–0 victory over Nice before avenging their cup exit with a 1–0 win of their own away to Evian. Les Rouges et Bleu bounced back with a 1–0 win over Troyes before quarter-final exits in both the Coupe de la Ligue and the Coupe de France. Then, at the Camp Nou, Javier Pastore opened the scoring for Carlo Ancelotti's players, only to be eliminated on away goals by Pedro’s equaliser. PSG warmed up for the return match against the Catalan outfit with a 2–0 victory over Rennes in Ligue 1. And the match lived up to the hype with Blaise Matuidi scoring in the last minute to secure a thrilling 2–2 draw at the Parc des Princes. Then came one of the highlights of the season with the quarter-final of the Champions League against Barcelona. Despite hiccups against Reims (0–1) and Saint-Étienne (2–2), Paris continued to set the pace at the top of the ladder with victories over Nancy, 2–1, and defending champions Montpellier, 1–0. Paris confirmed their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 1–1 draw at home to Valencia. As Beckham debuted in his new colours, Paris recorded back to back 2–0 home wins against arch-rivals Marseille, firstly in the league and then in the Coupe de France. The return to domestic action proved a little less convincing with a 3–2 upset at the hands of Sochaux. Away to Spanish giants Valencia in the first leg, Paris run out 2–1 winners. The arrival of the English superstar saw the club continue on its winning ways with a 4–0 triumph over Toulouse followed by a 3–1 win over Bastia before the last 16 of the Champions League. PSG then produced a huge surprise for their supporters by announcing the signature of David Beckham on the final day of the winter transfer window. The run of matches saw goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu set a new club record for longest run without conceding a goal, surpassing the previous time set by the legendary Bernard Lama. After a scoreless draw with AC Ajaccio, Paris stepped up a gear with wins over Bordeaux, Toulouse in the Coupe de France and Lille. The return to competition wasn't easy with a tough and slender 4–3 win over Arras in the Coupe de France. Ģ013 began with new Brazilian signing Lucas Moura meeting his new teammates. A comprehensive 3-0 win over Stade Brest in the final match of the calendar year saw PSG secure the honorary title of autumn champions. Next up came Evian (4-0), Valenciennes (0–4) and Lyon (1–0) all fell victim to the high-flying Les Rouge-et-Bleu. A festive December started in style with a 2–1 win over Porto which saw Paris clinch top spot in Group A of the Champions League. It marked the start of a difficult month of November for the side from the French capital. The first defeat of the campaign came soon after, 2–1, to Saint-Étienne. It got even better as Stade de Reims, Dinamo Zagreb, Nancy and Marseille, this time in the Coupe de la Ligue, all fell to Paris. Inspired, Zlatan netted two more remarkable goals as the match ended 2-2. Then it was time to travel to the Stade Vélodrome for Le Classique against Olympique de Marseille. October began less well with a late 1–0 defeat away to Porto. īuoyed by their continental success, the capital club recorded their largest ever away win with a 4–0 demolition of Bastia before defeating Sochaux-Montbéliard 2–0, in a perfect month of September. After nearly a decade's absence, PSG marked their return to Europe's premier club competition with a resounding 4–1 victory over Dynamo Kyiv. Another three points followed against Toulouse (2–0), before it was time for the UEFA Champions League. It was in the north of France that Paris finally launched their campaign against Lille and a 2–1 victory featuring another double from Ibrahimović. The PSG squad took a little time to get going and after three consecutive draws, Les Parisiens recorded their first victory in matchweek 4. Les Merlus caused Paris plenty of problems and the match ended 2–2 thanks to Ibrahimović's first brace of the season. Paris began at home to Lorient at the Parc des Princes. Reinforced by new stars Ezequiel Lavezzi, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Thiago Silva, PSG warmed up for the 2012–13 season with the aim of winning the league crown that dramatically eluded the club the previous year. The team competed in Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue and the UEFA Champions League. The 2012–13 season was Paris Saint-Germain Football Club's 43rd in existence and their 40th in the top-flight of French football. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just typing pwgen will print a block of password in columns across your screen. To install on deb based systems (Debian, Ubuntu): sudo apt-get install pwgen -y Basic Usage To install pwgen on rpm based systems (Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora): sudo dnf install -y pwgen It has minimal options, but sometimes less is more. The pwgen utility is a small command line program that generates passwords. This command also doesn't print a new line, use the xargs trick above if needed. $ strings /dev/urandom | tr -d '\n' | head -c18 Here we use it to pull printable characters for urandom, then use tr to strip the new lines, and head to print the first 18. The strings command is not one of those commands that is used very often. $ openssl rand -base64 16 | cut -c-18į 0iF8Rmc9V1/fnmiQ Using the strings Command To get our 18 character length we can change to 32 (or 16) and cut the first 18 characters. For example, I can't do 18 (which I like). Because of the base64 encoding, there are some lengths you cannot select. I am not a fan of this one, but maybe you are. This one gives us a nice clean output with a new line. Here is an example that does the same thing as the first example using redirection to input the file instead of cat. If you wanted a password without special characters, you can change the tr command to: If you wanted a shorter, or longer password you can change the number in the head command. $ cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd '' | head -c 18 Then the head command is telling the command to print the first 18 characters and then stop. The tr command is then stripping out all printable characters, not including spaces. Here we are reading the urandom file with cat and piping it to tr. $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail This will be a number in the range of 0-4096. You can check the available entropy on most Linux systems by reading the /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_available file. From this entropy pool random numbers are created. The generator also keeps an estimate of the number of bits of noise in the entropy pool. The random number generator gathers environmental noise from device drivers and other sources into an entropy pool. The character special files /dev/random and /dev/urandom (present since Linux 1.3.30) provide an interface to the kernel's random number generator. Most of these example use the urandom file in dev.

Over time brake fluid can become contaminated by water, which can make brake lines rust. It's supposed to happen instantly – if there's any delay or abnormal feeling to your brake pedal, the fluid is the first thing to check. When you step on the pedal, a plunger pressurizes the brake fluid inside the lines, which causes the brake pads to clamp on the rotors and slow your car. Modern car brakes are hydraulic, meaning that fluid connects the pedal to the brakes themselves. The importance of your car's brakes needs no explanation. If you find that you're frequently adding fluid, it's likely there's a leak, and your car will become increasingly difficult to steer if it isn't addressed. If the fluid is low just top it off, but it's essential to use the type specified for your vehicle to avoid damage. The process is similar in that you'll remove the dipstick or check the markings on the reservoir. Like with other fluids, look for either a dipstick or reservoir in the engine bay. There's no set timeframe on when power steering fluid needs to be replaced, but you should still know how to check it. Can you imagine trying to parallel park? Modern cars have upgraded to power steering to make maneuvering easy at any speed, and many power steering systems are hydraulic, using pressurized fluid to make turning the wheel effortless (though some newer models now rely on electric streering). If you've ever driven a classic car, likely the first things you noticed was the super heavy steering. Before you add coolant, make sure it's a type approved for your vehicle and give the radiator a few minutes to "burp" out any trapped air bubbles before you put the cap back on. If it doesn't, open the radiator cap to see if the coolant is filled up to the top. If your car has a coolant expansion tank, look to see if the coolant falls between the minimum and maximum indicators on the tank. The process to check coolant varies from car to car. Always wait for the engine to cool completely before checking the coolant. Pressurized coolant can spray and cause burns. Warning: Never check your coolant while the engine is hot. You only have to check this fluid every 50,000 miles or so, but if there's a leak or other issue it's important to know how to top it off. Maintaining the correct coolant level prevents overheating. Coolant (also known as antifreeze) works to keep everything, well, cool, by absorbing engine heat and dissipating it through the radiator. With all the combustion and friction that happens in an engine, it produces a lot of heat. If it's a darker coffee color or black, it's time for an oil change, and if you see a milky color that means coolant is leaking into the engine. If it's a yellow or amber color, you're good to go. It should feel slick and smooth – if you notice any particles or grittiness, components are likely wearing down, which is a major issue.Īlso look at the color of the oil. Smear the oil on the dipstick between your fingers. To check it, you're going to have to get your hands dirty. Oil level is one thing, but its condition is equally important. A low reading could indicate your engine is leaking or burning oil, which can cause damage if left untreated. If it's at or below the minimum, add more immediately. The oil on the dipstick should be near maximum. The dipstick is marked with maximum and minimum indicators that show how much oil is in your engine. First, pull the dipstick out and wipe it clean with a towel or rag. It's best to check your oil after your engine has been turned off for at least 10 minutes so the oil can settle at the bottom and cool off. Most cars have a dipstick in the engine bay which lets you quickly inspect the oil. Engines components spin thousands of times a minute, and it's oil that keeps everything moving smoothly. Engine OilĪfter fuel (unless you have a fancy EV), oil is your car's most important fluid. Here's how to check the six essential fluids in your car.

![]() Although the script of “16 Blocks” can be broken down as merely a set of action pieces in which Jack and Eddie flee Frank, get cornered and flee again, Richard Wenk’s screenplay is fundamentally about something else: A seemingly hollowed-out man, eaten away inside by his own moral rot, is allowed to become a reluctant hero who can set things right.įrequently, reminders surface of such finely crafted Gotham thrillers as “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three,” especially in Wenk’s balancing of the realities of city life with plentiful humorous inserts and Donner’s commitment to driving the film constantly forward but within the bounds of logic. His conscience clicking into gear, Jack shoots some of his own to free Eddie, setting off the chase’s checkered flag. Rather than help get Eddie to the court though, Frank intends to have Eddie - a witness to bloody acts by some of New York’s finest - executed to stop him from testifying against him and several other colleagues. Eluding more gunfire, Jack takes Eddie to his favorite Mulberry Street bar and calls for backup, only to find his 20-year-long partner Frank Nugent (David Morse) arrive with some fellow detectives. Pic swivels on its axis at this point, as Jack leaves the store and shoots a suspicious man trying to make Eddie roll down the back seat window of the car. It’s not long before Jack is up to here with Eddie’s non-stop chatter and with the street traffic, so he pulls over to buy some booze in a liquor store. With roughly 90 minutes’ lead time, Jack starts driving Eddie the 16 blocks between the police station and the court. Opening scene of Jack waiting at the crime scene for detectives has nothing to do with the central story, and everything to do with setting the mood of Jack’s bedraggled existence.īack at the office, though, Jack is asked to transport Eddie Bunker (Mos Def), in jail for a petty crime but ready to testify in a trial, to the downtown courtroom by 10 a.m. Lumbering up a flight of stairs, slumping into a sofa or considering another swig of hooch, Willis’ Jack is palpably a man who’s tired of life, let alone his beat on the New York force. ![]() Almost as a dare to auds fed on non-stop movement and thrills, Donner (with key ace collaboration from editor Steven Mirkovich) intros tale in a slow, steady rhythm, cued to the pace of fatigued cop Jack Mosley (Willis). ![]() Not that it ever rises to the level of Sidney Lumet’s Gotham police pics (“ Serpico,” “Prince of the City”), but “16 Blocks” does raise the banner for the tradition of the textured urban cop drama, spurred by action but made substantial by characters at crossroads. ![]() |
