Simulated gravitational lensing (black hole passing in front of a background galaxy) In general relativity, light follows the curvature of spacetime, hence when light passes around a massive object, it is bent. This means that the light from an object on the other side will be bent towards an observer's eye, just like an ordinary lens.
An optical black hole is a phenomenon in which slow light is passed through a Bose–Einstein condensate that is itself spinning faster than the local speed of light within to create a vortex capable of trapping the light behind an event horizon just as a gravitational black hole would. [1] Unlike other black hole analogs such as a sonic black ...
A black hole event horizon is teleological in nature, meaning that it is determined by future causes. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] More precisely, one would need to know the entire history of the universe and all the way into the infinite future to determine the presence of an event horizon, which is not possible for quasilocal observers (not even in ...
Scientists have seen light from behind a black hole for the first time ever. The astronomers' discovery proves Einstein's predictions right over a century later. Einstein right, again: Researchers ...

[47] [82] [83] It matched the predictions of general relativity [72] [73] [74] for the inward spiral and merger of a pair of black holes and subsequent ringdown of the resulting single black hole. The observations demonstrated the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems and the first observation of a binary black hole merger.
A view of M87* black hole in polarised light Sagittarius A*, black hole in the center of the Milky Way. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is an active program that directly observes the immediate environment of black holes' event horizons, such as the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. In April 2017, EHT began observing the black hole ...
