Summary
[edit]DescriptionWarped Disk Around A Bright Black Hole (Artwork) (opo9728d).jpg |
English: This diagram shows the geometry of a warped disk of dust surrounding a suspected black hole in the active galaxy NGC 6251. The diagram is based on NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images of the disk which reveal that only one side reflects light emitted from a suspected black hole, hence the disk is warped. |
