General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulation of a black hole accretion disk and jet. The gas is orbiting around the central black hole and slowly moving toward it. The disk is highly turbulent and seeded with the entangled magnetic field lines, shown by the white lines. The jet structure is highlighted with the white contour surface. The disk is tenuous and would not be very luminous in the sky, which is a good model for Sgr A*, one of the main targets of the EHT. This simulation

3.8M views · 10K reactions | An accretion disk is a flattened, circular or elliptical structure that is formed when material falls towards a strong gravitational force, such as a star or a black hole. The black hole’s complex appearance is due to the image of the accretion disk being warped by gravitational lensing into two images: one looping over the black hole and the other under it. . . #space #science #cosmos #black #Blackholefacts | Space Knowledge | Facebook
