This video shows what the view might be like between two circling supermassive black holes around 18.6 million miles (30 million kilometers) apart with an orbital period of 46 minutes.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This video shows what the view might be like between two circling supermassive black holes around 18.6 million miles (30 million kilometers) apart with an orbital period of 46 minutes. The simulation shows how the black holes distort the starry background and capture light, producing black hole silhouettes. A distinctive feature called a photon ring outlines the black holes. The entire system has a mass about 1 million times the Sun’s.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center; background, ESA/Gaia/DPAC
