The distortions seen in this image are due to the physics of general relativity, which informs us how the path of light is deflected in the presence of a gravitational field. The material forming a black hole has been compressed to densities so high that it is hidden within an “event horizon,” beyond which the gravitational field is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Outside of this event horizon light paths will bend sharply, and even loop around the black hole, under the influence of the intense gravitational fields.The speed at which material, in what is known as an accretion disk, orbits the black hole increases with proximity. The orbital speed of material closest to the event horizon approaches the speed of light. This produces an effect known as “relativistic doppler beaming” which enhances the brightness of material moving towards us along our line of sight, and correspondingly dims the brightness of material moving away.The gravitational warping of the light from background stars is strong, creating the effect of a powerful lens. Light from the region directly behind the black hole forms an “Einstein Ring” that encircles the event horizon. Inside this ring we find an inverted view of the entire sky, which is increasingly distorted. The inner black disk is known as the black hole’s “shadow” which appears slightly larger than the actual location of the event horizon due to the distortion of the light paths.The light from the orbiting material is likewise distorted, making the flat accretion disk appear to bend completely around the black hole’s shadow and have the disk behind the black hole appear to be both above and below it. Yet despite these strange visual distortions that change with viewing angle, the accretion disk itself physically remains flat.These illustrations depict what is known as a “Schwarzschild” black hole, made from material that had no overall rotation. A black hole created from rapidly spinning material retains a sense of this rotation and displays additional asymmetries not pictured here; this is known as a “Kerr” black hole.The appearance of a black hole like this is “scale invariant,” meaning that the way light warps around it will appear the same, regardless of the mass of the object. The only thing that changes is the overall size of the distortions and shadow. Thus a black hole ten times as massive as the one shown here, viewed from ten times further away, would look exactly the same.These animations show qualitatively correct depictions of light distortion around a black hole that use a simplified optical model for the effect, rather than full general relativistic ray-tracing code. || ", "hits": 879 }, { "id": 14620, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14620/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-07-17T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Isolated Black Hole Visualization", "description": "This visualization shows the strange ways that light is gravitationally warped in the region around a black hole.

The spacecraft will fly by one asteroid in the solar system’s main belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, followed by seven Trojans. In addition, Lucy’s path will circle back to Earth three times for gravity assists, making it the first spacecraft ever to travel out to the distance of Jupiter and return to the vicinity of Earth.The Lucy mission is named after the fossilized skeleton of an early hominin (pre-human ancestor) discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 and named “Lucy” by the team of paleoanthropologists who discovered it. Just as the Lucy fossil provided unique insights into humanity’s evolution, the Lucy mission promises to revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the solar system.Lucy is scheduled to launch no earlier than Saturday, Oct. 16, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.Southwest Research Institute is the home institution of the principal investigator.

Part 1: Turbulent Molecular Cloud Nebula with Protostellar ObjectsThe Advanced Visualization Laboratory (AVL) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) collaborated with NASA and Drs. Alexei Kritsuk and Michael Norman to visualize a computational data set of a turbulent molecular cloud nebula forming protostellar objects and accretion disks approximately 100 AU in diameter, on the order of the size of our solar system. AVL used its Amore software to interpolate and render the Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) simulation generated from ENZO code for cosmology and astrophysics. The AMR simulation was developed by Drs. Kritsuk and Norman at the Laboratory for Computational Astrophysics. The AMR simulation generated more than 2 terabytes of data and follows star formation processes in a self-gravitating turbulent molecular cloud with a dynamic range of half-a-million in linear scale, resolving both the large-scale filamentary structure of the molecular cloud (~5 parsec) and accretion disks around emerging young protostellar objects (down to 2 AU). Part 2: Protoplanetary Disk and Planet FormationThe Advanced Visualization Laboratory (AVL) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) collaborated with NASA and Dr. Aaron Boley to visualize the 16,000 year evolution of a young, isolated protoplanetary disk which surrounds a newly-formed protostar. The disk forms spiral arms and a dense clump as a result of gravitational collapse. Dr. Aaron Boley developed this computational model to investigate the response of young disks to mass accretion from their surrounding envelopes, including the direct formation of planets and brown dwarfs through gravitational instability. The main formation mechanism for gas giant planets has been debated within the scientific community for over a decade. One of these theories is 'direct formation through gravitational instability.' If the self-gravity of the gas overwhelms the disk's thermal pressure and the stabilizing effect of differential rotation, the gas closest to the protostar rotates faster than gas farther away. In this scenario, regions of the gaseous disk collapse and form a planet directly. The study, presented in Boley (2009), explores whether mass accretion in the outer regions of disks can lead to such disk fragmentation. The simulations show that clumps can form in situ at large disk radii. If the clumps survive, they can become gas giants on wide orbits, e.g., Fomalhaut b, or even more massive objects called brown dwarfs. Whether a disk forms planets at large radii and, if so, the number of planets that form, depend on how much of the envelope mass is distributed at large distances from the protostar. The results of the simulations suggest that there are two modes of gas giant planet formation. The first mode occurs early in the disk's lifetime, at large radii, and through the disk instability mechanism. After the main accretion phase is over, gas giants can form in the inner disk, over a period of a million years, through the core accretion mechanism, which researchers are addressing in other studies.Thanks to R.

In this illustration, the star changes in brightness when internal sound waves at different frequencies cause parts of the star to expand and contract. In one pattern, the whole star expands and contracts, while in a second, opposite hemispheres swell and shrink out of sync. In reality, a single star exhibits many pulsation patterns that can tell astronomers about its age, composition and internal structure. The exact light variations astronomers observe also depend on how the star's spin axis angles toward us. Delta Scuti stars spin so rapidly they flatten into ovals, which jumbles these signals and makes them harder to decode.

The black hole’s extreme gravitational field redirects and distorts light coming from different parts of the disk, but exactly what we see depends on our viewing angle. The greatest distortion occurs when viewing the system nearly edgewise. As our viewpoint rotates around the black hole, we see different parts of the fast-moving gas in the accretion disk moving directly toward us. Due to a phenomenon called \"relativistic Doppler beaming,\" gas in the disk that's moving toward us makes that side of the disk appear brighter, the opposite side darker. This effect disappears when we're directly above or below the disk because, from that angle, none of the gas is moving directly toward us.When our viewpoint passes beneath the disk, it looks like the gas is moving in the opposite direction. This is no different that viewing a clock from behind, which would make it look like the hands are moving counter-clockwise.CORRECTION: In earlier versions of the 360-degree movies on this page, these important effects were not apparent. This was due to a minor mistake in orienting the camera relative to the disk. The fact that it was not initially discovered by the NASA scientist who made the movie reflects just how bizarre and counter-intuitive black holes can be!

The spacecraft is so fast that near perihelion, it flies faster than the Sun rotates. This animation illustrates this by following the track of the spacecraft on map of the surface of the Sun. When the spacecraft flies faster than the Sun rotates, the orbit track on the surface goes backward (retrograde). At the turning points (labeled co-rotation periods), the spacecraft and the Sun are essential moving together (co-rotation). These periods of time, which last many hours, will be invaluable for making continuous measurements of solar wind from the same source.Credit: NASA/JPL/WISPR Team || 12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [100.7 KB] || 12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [54.3 KB] || 12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p.00001_web.png (320x180) [54.3 KB] || 12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p.00001_thm.png (80x40) [3.5 KB] || 12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p.mp4 (1920x1080) [76.2 MB] || PRORES_B-ROLL_12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p_prores.mov (1280x720) [335.3 MB] || YOUTUBE_1080_12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p_youtube_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [71.6 MB] || NASA_TV_12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p.mpeg (1280x720) [156.1 MB] || 12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p.webm (1920x1080) [3.7 MB] || 12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p_appletv.m4v (1280x720) [22.9 MB] || NASA_PODCAST_12999_PSPRelativeMotionToSun2018V81080p_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [6.6 MB] || ", "hits": 194 }, { "id": 30972, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30972/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2018-07-09T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Zoo of Galaxies", "description": "This animation starts with a collage of different galaxies first in visible light, and then far-infrared light. || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-1920x1080.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [60.6 KB] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-1920x1080.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [47.1 KB] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-1920x1080.00001_thm.png (80x40) [4.0 KB] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-1280x720.mp4 (1280x720) [1.6 MB] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-1920x1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [3.2 MB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-1920x1080.webm (1920x1080) [2.4 MB] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-640x360.mp4 (640x360) [549.0 KB] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-3840x2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [3.1 MB] || STScI-J_IRU-ZooOfGalaxies_1x-H265-3840x2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [2.0 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || ", "hits": 51 }, { "id": 30969, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30969/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2018-06-18T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "M101 (Pinwheel Galaxy)", "description": "This animation shows the Messier 101 (Pinwheel) Galaxy, with simulated rotation, in visible, then infrared, then X-ray, and finally all three combined. || STScI-H-M101_1x-1920x1080.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [150.4 KB] || STScI-H-M101_1x-1920x1080.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [99.4 KB] || STScI-H-M101_1x-1920x1080.00001_thm.png (80x40) [6.3 KB] || STScI-H-M101_1x-1280x720.mp4 (1280x720) [18.1 MB] || STScI-H-M101_1x-1920x1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [50.6 MB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || STScI-H-M101_1x-1920x1080.webm (1920x1080) [5.6 MB] || STScI-H-M101_1x-640x360.mp4 (640x360) [7.8 MB] || STScI-H-M101_1x-3840x2160.mp4 (3840x2160) [32.3 MB] || STScI-H-M101_1x-H265-3840x2160.mp4 (3840x2160) [11.2 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || ", "hits": 223 }, { "id": 4623, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4623/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-04-30T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "The Dynamic Solar Magnetic Field with Introduction", "description": "This narrated visualization transitions from a view of the Sun in visible light, to a view in ultraviolet light showing the plasma flowing along solar magnetic structures, to the underlying magnetic field of the solar photosphere, to a model construction of magnetic fieldlines above the photosphere.This video is also available on our YouTube channel. || SolarMagnetism_UHD3840.04000_print.jpg (1024x576) [198.9 KB] || SolarMagnetism_UHD3840.04000_thm.png (80x40) [6.0 KB] || SolarMagnetism_UHD3840.04000_web.png (320x180) [84.1 KB] || SolarMagnetism_ProRes3_HD1080_p30_Narrated.webm (1280x720) [33.9 MB] || SolarMagnetism_ProRes3_HD1080_p30_Narrated.mov (1280x720) [7.4 GB] || SolarMagnetism_ProRes3_UHD2160_p30_Narrated.mov (3840x2160) [12.8 GB] || ", "hits": 108 }, { "id": 4488, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4488/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-01-31T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "Cretaceous-Era Dinosaur Prints Found at Goddard Space Flight Center", "description": "This visualization begins with a satellite view of the NASA Goddard campus.

Parker Solar Probe flies through the corona at speeds up to 430,000 mph taking measurements to help scientists better understand the fundamental drivers of solar activity and space weather events that can impact life on Earth. Facing brutal heat and radiation conditions, Parker Solar Probe employs four instrument suites designed to study electric and magnetic fields, plasma, waves and energetic particles, as well as image the solar wind, the constant stream of material released by the Sun. \n\nParker Solar Probe launched on Aug. 12, 2018, from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.\n\nLearn more: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/parker-solar-probe/", "hits": 773 }, { "id": 40337, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/lrosolar-eclipse/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2017-07-17T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "LRO and Solar Eclipse Events", "description": "This page features videos for the 2017 Solar Eclipse Events being coordinated with the LRO Mission production team.", "hits": 150 }, { "id": 4143, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4143/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-07-12T10:01:00-04:00", "title": "Saturn's Magnetosphere", "description": "Earth's magnetic field creates a 'bubble' around Earth that helps protect our planet from some of the more harmful effects of energetic particles streaming out from the sun in the solar wind. Some of the earliest hints of this interaction go back to the 1850s with the work of Richard Carrington, and in the early 1900s with the work of Kristian Birkeland and Carl Stormer. That this field might form a type of 'bubble' around Earth was hypothesized by Sidney Chapman and Vincent Ferraro in the 1930s. The term 'magnetosphere' was applied to magnetic bubble by Thomas Gold in 1959. But it wasn't until the Space Age, when we sent the first probes to other planets, that we found clear evidence of their magnetic fields (though there were hints of a magnetic field for Jupiter in the 1950s, due to observations from radio telescopes). The Voyager program , two spacecraft launched in 1977, and successors to the Pioneer 10 and 11 missions, completed flybys of the giant outer planets. They became the implementation of the 'Grand Tour' of the outer planets originally proposed in the late 1960s. The Voyagers provided some of the first detailed measurments of the strength, extent and diversity of the magnetospheres of the outer planets.In these visualizations, we present simplified models of these planetary magnetospheres, designed to illustrate their scale, and basic features of their structure and impacts of the magnetic axes offset from the planetary rotation axes. For these visualizations, the magnetic field structure is represented by gold/copper lines. Some additional glyphs are provided to indicate some key directions in the field model.The Yellow arrow points towards the sun. The magnetotail is pointed in the opposite direction.The Cyan arrow represents the magnetic axis, usually tilted relative to the rotation axis. The arrow indicates the NORTH magnetic pole (convention has field lines moving north to south as the north pole of bar magnet (and compass pointer) points to the south magnetic pole).The Blue arrow represents the north rotation axis. It is part of the 3-D axis glyph (red, green, and blue arrows) included to make the planetary rotation more apparent.The semi-transparent grey mesh in the distance represents the boundary of the magnetosphere.Major satellites of the planetary system are also included. When appropriate for the time window of the visualization, the Voyager flyby trajectories are indicated.The models are constructed by combining the fields of a simple magnetic dipole, a current sheet (whose intensity is tuned match the scale of the magnetotail), and occasionally a ring current. This is a variation of the simple Luhmann-Friesen magnetosphere model. They are meant to be representative of the basic characteristics of the planetary magnetic fields. Some features NOT included are longitudes of magnetic poles to a standard planetary coordinate system and offsets of the dipole center from the planetary center. ReferencesT.
