  2. Optical black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_black_hole

    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 ...

  3. Event horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon

    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 ...

  4. Apparent horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_horizon

    Within an apparent horizon, light does not move outward; this is in contrast with the event horizon. In a dynamical spacetime, there can be outgoing light rays exterior to an apparent horizon (but still interior to the event horizon). An apparent horizon is a local notion of the boundary of a black hole, whereas an event horizon is a global notion.

    An echo of ShaSS 073 galaxy's light detected by ESO's VLT Survey Telescope. The ShaSS 622-073 system is composed of the larger galaxy ShaSS 073 (seen in yellow in the image on the right) and the smaller galaxy ShaSS 622 (seen in blue) that are at the very beginning of a merger.

    The black hole duo is the closest pair found through visible and X-ray light. While other black hole pairs have been observed before, they are usually much farther apart.

  8. Gravitational lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens

    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.
