Visualize a mind-bending black hole 😱 The gravity of a black hole is so intense, it distorts its surroundings like a carnival mirror. Simulations help us see what Einstein meant when he said gravity warps the fabric of space & time. Get sucked in: go.nasa.gov/2lMiqJz pic.twitter.com/B6k7cHjpA6

New NASA visualization offers a detailed look what you'd see if you were hanging out alongside a feeding black hole. nasa.gov/feature/goddar… pic.twitter.com/OdX5hlc4PI

A model of a black hole surrounded by gas glowing under gravity and friction. The gases really are just a disk but views from different angles are warped by the black hole’s extreme gravity!

👀 We can't stop looking at this compelling visualization that @NASA released last year of how a black hole's gravity skews the paths of light coming from different parts of the disk and distorts our view. Full description of what's happening: s.si.edu/2RCQSCy pic.twitter.com/g3g5UI0vLx

Remember earlier this year when NASA put out an image of a black hole? Here's a simulation of what it'd look like up close that is BLOWING MY MIND

Scroll down in the article to the first animation. It’s worth it. And then read the article carefully to understand why the accretion disk looks so warped instead of flat. NASA Visualization Shows a Black Hole’s Warped World | NASA
