Nor is it known what happens when they cross their boundary, the so-called event horizon. There are various theories, but almost no certainties. Known for a gravitational pull so intense that not even light can esca…
In a scientific article, an astrophysicist describes the plan to make interstellar travel to a black hole a reality in much less time. While a manned interstellar trip is currently impossible, plans are already being made to make an unmanned one. NASA's Voyager probes are, to date, the only interstellar journey made from Earth that has managed to advance beyond our Solar System.
