On a larger scale, supermassive black holes have a mass of more than one million suns, and so must develop and grow very differently than stellar black holes. According to observations of intense gravitational attraction and energy in the center of galaxies ... there is evidence for supermassive black holes at the heart of nearly all large galaxies, including our Milky Way. 3, record 1, English, - supermassive%20black%20hole

[...] los cálculos indican que la estrella de masa superior a 2 veces la del Sol ha de contraerse indefinidamente hasta alcanzar, teóricamente, un volumen nulo y una densidad infinita, constituyendo lo que los astrónomos llaman un agujero negro. [...] En un agujero negro las fuerzas gravitacionales y los efectos electromagnéticos son tan considerables que nada puede escapar hacia el espacio, ni siquiera los rayos luminosos (de ahí que ese cuerpo sea "negro"). Tal cuerpo celeste es, por consiguiente, invisible. Pero la atracción que ejerce sobre la materia que se halla en su entorno es tan grande que proporciona un medio indirecto de detección. 3, record 2, Spanish, - agujero%20negro

Solar distillation. ... A simple solar still utilizes the same principles that keep a greenhouse warm in winter. The sun's rays pass through a sloping glass cover .... The solar energy is absorbed by a black basin in the bottom of the still, with the result that the saline water (...) is heated. As the heated water evaporates, the vapor rises to the top of the still where it comes in contact with the cooler glass cover and condenses. The condensate -fresh water- trickles down the cover to a collecting trough. 2, record 7, English, - solar%20still

Il y a un siècle déjà, un distillateur solaire fonctionnait au Chili. Un bac peu profond, bien isolé du sol, avec un fond peint en noir, est rempli d’eau sur une faible épaisseur. Le tout est surmonté d’un toit de verre incliné. Dans cette sorte de serre chauffée par le soleil, la température de l'eau s’élève à 60 ou 70 ° C, et l'évaporation se produit. Le vitrage, plus froid que l'eau, provoque la condensation de la vapeur d’eau douce. Celle-ci s’écoule le long de la paroi interne du toit, jusqu'à une gouttière qui la récupère. 2, record 7, French, - distillateur%20solaire
