Energy-releasing black hole
Energy-releasing black hole. Computer artwork of the energy-releasing black hole (upper left) in galaxy MCG -6-30-15. The energy around this black hole was measured by astronomers, using ESAs XM Newton X-ray observatory. It was found to be greater than expected. The extra energy is thought to be rotational energy extracted when the black holes spin is slowed by the twisting of magnetic field lines close to its border (event horizon). The gravity in this region is strong enough to twist the fabric of space-time, resulting in the tightening of the magnetic field lines that slows the spin of the hole. The energy released by the slowed hole heats surrounding gas

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an energy-releasing black hole, a mesmerizing phenomenon captured through computer artwork. Located in the galaxy MCG -6-30-15, this black hole has astounded astronomers with its extraordinary energy levels, surpassing their initial expectations. The image was obtained using the European Space Agency's XM Newton X-ray observatory. The additional energy emitted by this black hole is believed to originate from rotational energy extraction. As the twisting of magnetic field lines near its event horizon slows down the spin of the black hole, it releases tremendous amounts of energy. The gravitational forces within this region are so intense that they twist and tighten the fabric of space-time, resulting in a captivating display of glowing magnetic field lines. The released energy heats up and illuminates the surrounding gas, creating a luminous spectacle that can be observed in this stunning illustration. This print serves as a reminder of both the immense power and intricate dynamics at play within our universe. Through advancements in astrophysics and satellite technology such as ESA's XM Newton mission, scientists continue to unravel the mysteries surrounding these enigmatic cosmic entities. This image not only captures our imagination but also represents humanity's ongoing quest to understand and explore the vast wonders of outer space.
