Too Close to a Black Hole

COSMIC MESSAGE

If you were near a black hole, the sky would look very strange due to its extreme gravity. The image on the right shows how a familiar star field, including Orion, would be distorted. Light from distant stars is bent towards the black hole, creating bizarre visual effects. This computer-generated view highlights the profound warping of spacetime.
