APOD

This image is one of a  black hole sucking in a massive gas cloud. This reveals attributes of both the gas being sucked in and the black hole. The gas cloud is emitting two beams of light from it's poles at a very high frequency 450 times per second actually.  From the black hole we can observe its mass which is about 7 times the mass of our sun.
