Accretion Disk Simulation

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

This computer simulation shows spiral shock waves within an accretion disk, not a galaxy. Material swirls onto a compact central object, which could be a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. Such disks form in binary star systems and power bright X-ray sources within our own galaxy, converting gravitational energy into intense radiation.
