Black Holes connect our visible Universe to other Universes. According to scientists this is the final frontier of astro-physics that may define what happen to us when we die and from where advanced UFOs come and observe or influence us. Some even go as far as linking these other Universes to “God”, “Heaven” and more.

NASA took a vital step in Black Hole research as the SWIFT Probe was successfully launched. By the end of a day, somewhere in the visible universe a new black hole will have formed. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most distant and powerful explosions known, are likely the birth cries of these new black holes.

NASA's Swift mission is dedicated to studying the gamma-ray burst/black hole connection.

The Swift spacecraft lifted off aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket from pad 17-A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., at 12:16:00.611 p.m. EST on November 20, 2004. Swift has successfully begun its mission to study gamma-ray bursts and identify their origins. 

Swift is a first-of-its-kind multi-wavelength observatory dedicated to the study of gamma-ray burst (GRB) science. Its three instruments will work together to observe GRBs and afterglows in the gamma ray, X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical wavebands.

The Swift observatory comprises three telescopes, which work in tandem to provide rapid identification and multi- wavelength follow-up of GRBs and their afterglows. Within 20 to 75 seconds of a detected GRB, the observatory will rotate autonomously, so the onboard X-ray and optical telescopes can view the burst. The afterglows will be monitored over their durations, and the data will be rapidly released to the public. 

Swift, a medium-class explorer mission, is managed by GSFC. Swift is a NASA mission with participation of the Italian Space Agency and the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council in the United Kingdom. It was built in collaboration with national laboratories, universities and international partners, including Penn State University; Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico; Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, Calif.; Mullard Space Science Laboratory in Dorking, Surrey, England; the University of Leicester, England and the Brera Observatory in Milan, Italy. 

The main mission objectives for Swift are to: 

• Determine the origin of gamma-ray bursts 

• Classify gamma-ray bursts and search for new types 

• Determine how the blastwave evolves and interacts with the surroundings 

• Use gamma-ray bursts to study the early universe

• Perform the first sensitive hard X-ray survey of the sky
