The View Near a Black Hole

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

At the heart of a swirling disk of hot gas, a black hole is likely present. While we cannot see black holes directly, their gravitational effects on surrounding matter are observable. For instance, the gas around GRO J1655-40 shows a rapid flickering, suggesting a central object with a mass about seven times that of our Sun.
