Visual traits

  • A pure black disk (the shadow) sits at the centre, edged by a thin bright ring of light
  • A flat glowing disk of gas circles it, seen nearly edge-on as a tilted ellipse, brightest and white-hot on one side
  • The far side of the disk is bent up and over the shadow into an arc (gravitational lensing)
  • Gold, white and ember-orange light on a black sky with a few faint stars
  • In motion, the disk rotates and its brighter clumps circle the shadow

Prompt

Cosmic simulation of a black hole: a pure black shadow edged by a thin bright photon ring, a glowing accretion disk seen nearly edge-on as a tilted ellipse, white-hot on one side, its far side bent up and over the shadow by gravitational lensing, gold, white and ember-orange light on a black sky with faint stars. As video, the disk rotates.
