on it? Kevin: The most important part is to love research and be enthusiastic. Plus, physics is a great subject to study regardless of what you want to do in life. Miss_Maybe: you siad black holes can eat anything did she ever eat a space shuttle? Kevin: No : ) Wolf: why are you not talking about white holes Kevin: White holes are speculative and there's no reason to think they exist. Miss_Maybe: is it really hard for you to study black holes? or practicing made it easier? riyanatarajan: Anyone who is excited about science and works hard can study black holes! Jason: Chandra is an x-ray telescope. Chandra gives astronomers a powerful tool to investigate the universe, especially those hot spots where black holes, exploding stars and colliding galaxies are most likely to live. Since the Earth's atmosphere absorbs the vast majority of X-rays, they are not detectable from Earth-based telescopes, requiring a space-based telescope to make these observations. Chandra launched in 1999 aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia during the STS-93 mission. Learn all sorts of interesting things about Chandra by visiting http://www.nasa.gov/chandra Jason (moderator): We've got time for just a few more questions.... Aisha: im only 14 so excuse my knowledge but i have another question: what would happen if two black holes would collide and merge into each other? (thank you for answering another of my questions) Kevin: If two black holes get close enouhg they will merge into a bigger black hole. eolijah: On that "biggest
