Send help...can't...look....away!🌀 👀 This new visualization of a black hole illustrates how its gravity distorts our view, warping its surroundings as if seen in a carnival mirror. The black hole’s extreme gravitational field redirects and distorts light coming from different parts of the disk, but exactly what we see depends on our viewing angle. The greatest distortion occurs when viewing the system nearly edgewise. Nearest the black hole, the gas orbits at close to the speed of light, while

General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulation of a black hole accretion disk and jet. The gas is orbiting around the central black hole and slowly moving toward it. The disk is highly turbulent and seeded with the entangled magnetic field lines, shown by the white lines. The jet structure is highlighted with the white contour surface. The disk is tenuous and would not be very luminous in the sky, which is a good model for Sgr A*, one of the main targets of the EHT. This simulation

Warped World • Black Hole Accretion Disk Visualization 10.12.2020 • (Schematic in post comments) This movie shows a complete revolution around a simulated black hole and its accretion disk following a path that is perpendicular to the disk. The black hole’s extreme gravitational field redirects and distorts light coming from different parts of the disk, but exactly what we see depends on our viewing angle. The greatest distortion occurs when viewing the system nearly edgewise. As our viewpoint r

3.8M views · 10K reactions | An accretion disk is a flattened, circular or elliptical structure that is formed when material falls towards a strong gravitational force, such as a star or a black hole. The black hole’s complex appearance is due to the image of the accretion disk being warped by gravitational lensing into two images: one looping over the black hole and the other under it. . . #space #science #cosmos #black #Blackholefacts | Space Knowledge | Facebook

• Black Holes Could Reach ‘Stupendously Large’ Sizes - A recent study suggests the possible existence of ‘stupendously large black holes’ or SLABS, even larger than the supermassive black holes already observed in the centres of galaxies. 22.1.2021 VIDEO: Simulation of strong magnetic flux tube generated in the accretion disk around a rapidly spinning black hole During a flare event, the brightness of the inner accretion disk can increase roughly ten times. Understanding these flare events is an
