The Black hole

We venture back into deep space with today’s wallpaper. This is a stunning artists’ concept of a large black hole and the region around it. The great luminous disk is called the accretion disc, and is formed from all the matter that is in the process of falling into the black hole. It’s spinning because it is in a slowly decaying orbit around the black hole, losing energy as bright light, until it eventually falls past that totally black globe at the centre. THat’s the vent horizon, the point of no return. Once inside, it is physically impossible to escape. Above the disc we see a bright blue jet being emitted, this is very energetic matter being ejected from the region at near-light speed. This amazing image makes for a fantastic and unique wallpaper and, as always, it’s free to download and enjoy.
