A place to share and discuss visual representations of data: Graphs, charts, maps, etc.
DataIsBeautiful is for visualizations that effectively convey information. Aesthetics are an important part of information visualization, but pretty pictures are not the sole aim of this subreddit.
A place to share and discuss visual representations of data: Graphs, charts, maps, etc.
A post must be (or contain) a qualifying data visualization.
Directly link to the original source article of the visualization
Original source article doesn't mean the original source image. Link to the full page of the source article as a link-type submission.
If you made the visualization yourself, tag it as [OC]
[OC] posts must state the data source(s) and tool(s) used in the first top-level comment on their submission.
DO NOT claim "[OC]" for diagrams that are not yours.
All diagrams must have at least one computer generated element.
No reposts of popular posts within 1 month.
Post titles must describe the data plainly without using sensationalized headlines. Clickbait posts will be removed.

And it's the small black holes that'll fuck you up. Once you're in that gravity well you're never getting out.
Why would it be different from a suns gravity well? Unless you mean the event horizon but I don't get why the small one would be worse.
He's probably talking about tidal forces. Gravity falls off with the square of distance, so the closer you get to the center, the greater the difference in gravitational strength becomes for every meter of distance. With a supermassive, you're far enough from the center that your head and feet experience similar levels of gravity at the event horizon.
With a small one you're much closer to the center, so your head and feet experience extremely different gravity, which rips you apart.
Is the small one that small though. I mean its still like the inner planets size.
Yeah, these two specifically are huge and huger. lol
Don't larger black holes work the same way?
Yeah. Technically you aren't screwed unless you are in an orbit that crosses the event horizon.
Although I wonder if the accretion disk produces enough drag that an orbit could eventually fall into the black hole.
Also, time gets funky when you get closer and closer to the black hole.
But in any case the behavior is the same. It's just a lot bigger.
