NASA: Black Holes

Now, with rigorous science, NASA has mapped a clear picture of a black hole, a twisted, beautiful world.

This is a system of black hole bodies, light, accretion disks, etc. The middle black part, instead of the Blackhole, is just the Blackhole Shadow, about twice the Event Horizon. The thin Ring of light around it, known as the Photon Ring, is an "aperture" formed by many distortions in the image of the accretion disk, often distorted by the black hole two, three or more times before being seen by the outside world and becoming fainter and weaker as it passes too close to the black hole.

All around the black hole is a huge Accretion Disk, a hot, thin layer of material and gas that spins at high speed and slowly falls toward the black hole.

The top is actually the far end of the accretion disk, and the gravitational field of the black hole distorts the path of light at the far end, making it seem to stand up and be visible to us. Below is the bottom of the far end of the accretion disk, also distorted by the gravitational field of the black hole, a lensing effect, but smaller and less complete than above because it has to pass under the black hole.

If you seen the movie star Interstellar, you will find a NASA this picture look familiar, because basic just like this, the black hole in that movie was the first time in history in film and television works which is invited the rigorous science behind team to calculate rendering.
