Black hole model
Black hole. Computer model of the turbulent accre- tion disc around a non-rotating (Schwarzschild) black hole. The colours show the amount of red shifting (decreasing from red to blue) in the disc, which is rotating anticlockwise around the hole. Red shift occurs when a light source moves away from an observer, increasing its wavelength. Turbulence slows orbiting matter in the disc, allowing it to fall into the hole. Near the hole the disc is smooth. Turbulent discs such as this may be the source of the radiation associated with quasars. Black holes are regions where the gravitational field is so strong that light cannot escape. Work done at the University of Utah, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer model of a black hole, specifically the turbulent accretion disc surrounding a non-rotating (Schwarzschild) black hole. The vibrant colors depicted in the image represent the amount of red shifting occurring within the disc, gradually decreasing from red to blue. Red shift occurs when light sources move away from an observer, causing their wavelengths to increase. The anticlockwise rotation of the disc around the black hole is evident, and turbulence plays a significant role in slowing down orbiting matter within it. This deceleration allows matter to eventually succumb to gravity and fall into the voracious black hole. Interestingly, closer to the event horizon, where gravitational forces are most intense, the disc appears smooth. Scientists believe that such turbulent discs could potentially be responsible for emitting radiation associated with quasars - enigmatic cosmic objects found at extreme distances from Earth. Black holes themselves are regions characterized by an incredibly strong gravitational field that renders them light-trapping entities. This remarkable computer simulation was conducted at the University of Utah in the United States and offers invaluable insights into our understanding of space-time dynamics and astrophysical phenomena like stellar death. By incorporating concepts such as Doppler effect and accretion discs into this peculiar Schwarzschild model, researchers have created visually striking graphics that shed light on one of nature's most mysterious wonders: black holes.
