Black hole
Black hole, computer artwork. Planets, moons, stars, radiation and other matter are all spiralling into the black hole, dragged by immense gravitational forces. This will cause the material to give off high-energy X-rays. A black hole is formed when the core of a star collapses under its own weight, increasing its gravitational field to the point where, beyond a boundary known as the event horizon, nothing, not even light, can escape. This leads to its black appearance. Only sufficiently massive stars form black holes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the enigmatic phenomenon of a black hole. Through intricate computer artwork, it depicts a mesmerizing spiral of planets, moons, stars, and radiation being inexorably drawn into the immense gravitational forces of this cosmic entity. The image highlights how these powerful gravitational forces cause the material surrounding the black hole to emit high-energy X-rays. It also elucidates that black holes are formed when the core of a star collapses under its own weight, intensifying its gravitational field to such an extent that nothing can escape beyond a boundary called the event horizon – not even light itself. This is what lends them their mysterious and impenetrable appearance. By delving into destruction, science, astronomy, and cosmology simultaneously, this illustration offers profound insights into stellar phenomena and star death. It reminds us that only sufficiently massive stars have the potential to transform into these peculiar entities known as black holes. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both our insignificance in comparison to the vastness of space and our insatiable curiosity about its wonders.
