The mass of a black hole attracts matter into a surrounding disc. Within the disc, matter is accelerated to high energies producing high energy particles which glow at detectable wavelengths. The mass of the black hole distorts spacetime which impacts the shape of the accretion disc.Credit:RAMON ANDRADE 3DCIENCIA/Science SourceSize:5120px × 3840px (~56 MB)Get PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:accretion disc-art-astronomy-astrophysical-astrophysics-black hole-blackhole-C046/4409-c0464409-c0464409.jpg-cgi-charged particles-curvature-digitally generated-emission-event horizon-gravity-magnetic field-mass-nobody-no-one-rotation-spacetime-supermassiveFolder Legacy Identifier:SS2CT67213_20190710Model release:N/ARestrictions:No Sale through SubagentsParent folder:2019-07-10
