Solar disc showing sunspots

Black hole evidence. Optical image of the core of the Whirlpool galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. It shows, for the first time, an immense ring of dust and cold gas (the x-shaped dark lanes at centre), which is thought to surround and hide a giant black hole of about 1 million solar masses in the centre of the galaxy. The ring forms an accretion disc of gas, about 100 light years across, falling towards the black hole. The two brighter areas perpendicular to the widest lane represent two jets of particles accelerated by the black hole

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the solar disc, revealing intricate sunspots that provide evidence of a black hole. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera, it offers an optical image of the core of the Whirlpool galaxy M51 (NGC 5194). The mesmerizing sight unveils an immense ring composed of dust and cold gas, forming x-shaped dark lanes at its center. This enigmatic ring is believed to envelop and conceal a colossal black hole with a mass equivalent to one million times that of our Sun. Spanning approximately 100 light years in diameter, this accretion disc captures our attention as it plummets towards the mysterious black hole at its core. Notably, two brighter areas perpendicular to the widest lane represent powerful jets comprised of accelerated particles emitted by the black hole itself. With its striking blue hues set against a deep black background, this astronomical artwork invites us into a realm where celestial wonders unfold. It serves as a reminder of both our insignificance in comparison to these cosmic phenomena and our insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our own planet Uranus within our vast solar system. This awe-inspiring illustration from SCIEPRO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY ignites contemplation about the mysteries that lie within space while showcasing humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel them through scientific exploration.
