想像一下，如果我們能夠往黑洞裡衝去會是什麼樣子！這幅來自超級電腦的圖像顯示了一顆重達400萬個太陽的黑洞，這和我們銀河系中心的黑洞相似。畫面中的攝影機距離黑洞的事件視界大約有1600萬公里，而且正以62%光速向內移動。因為重力的奇妙效果，我們能看到銀河系的星星形成了一個在畫面上端的緊湊環狀圖像，還有一個在下方延伸的第二個影像。你可以把鼠標移到圖片上查看更多說明。這些視覺化的畫面讓天文學家能以以前無法想象的方式探索黑洞，真是太神奇了！
原文:
What would it look like to plunge into a monster black hole? This image from a supercomputer visualization shows the entire sky as seen from a simulated camera plunging toward a 4-million-solar-mass black hole, similar to the one at the center of our galaxy. The camera lies about 16 million kilometers from the black hole’s event horizon and is moving inward at 62% the speed of light. Thanks to gravity’s funhouse effects, the starry band of the Milky Way appears both as a compact loop at the top of this view and as a secondary image stretching across the bottom. Move the cursor over the image for additional explanations. Visualizations like this allow astronomers to explore black holes in ways not otherwise possible.
