Last time this came around, Thag and Gorgo were painting on cave walls.

This might be a really dumb question: if we could gain access to that water, is it usable for earth? Like drinkable? Or is it all salty or mineraly that we can't process?

Yeah same. This one was actually kinda hard, took me like 4 or 5 seconds to calculate.

U ever go to Disneyworld or amusement park on a crowded day and the line takes two hours? Then you ride for 3 minutes?
You spend nearly a hundred thousand years to reach the black hole only to be spaghettified and gobbled up in a fraction of a second. Then hang in that state for all eternity. And this sounds like fun?
Sounds to me like one of the seven circles of hell. 🍻

A telescope will help as long as there isn't too much light pollution

AU is NOT used to measure size. It is used to measure distance. 1 AU = the distance of the Earth from the sun (93 million miles). This is not size. It is a distance. It's the same concept why we use different measuring standards. If measuring the length of you table, you use inches. If measuring how far you throw a football, you use yards. If measuring how far you drive, you use miles. AU is just a measurement standard. It makes taking about large distances easier without the numbers being too large to be hard to use and conceptualize. If I drove from one city to another, which is 320 miles away, what if I gave you that distance in inches? It's a huge number and difficult to deal with. After AU, the standard we use is light years.

No way! A black hole would be exciting for someone who couldn't die, one way or another. It may not be pleasant, but there's no way the spaghettification and the time dilation could work out to be boring, could there?

That's no moon!
Sorry. I couldn't resist. It's actually one of my favorite moons.

Yup, from the moment a photon is emitted to whatever object it hits and gets absorbed by, from the photon’s perspective it is all instantaneous. Even if it’s traveling for 13.8 billion years or longer.

Yes I saw it May be in Camelopardalis. I will look ! I feel like my pollution isn’t too bad to see a green smudge I have a telescope I can bring out once I get the location

Nowhere did I use the word "fun". I'd have to imagine being inside the black hole would be anything but fun. Definitely not boring, though.
