NASA Captures Artwork of Black Hole and Space Dust
Imagine a giant vacuum cleaner in space, that's a black hole!
Sometimes, these black holes have a ring of dusty stuff around them, like a giant donut.
This dusty ring is called a torus.
It's like the dust swirling around in a tornado.
Depending on how we look at the black hole, this dust can either hide the black hole or let us see it clearly.
NASA uses special telescopes to see these amazing things far away in space.
Artwork depicts a ring of space dust swirling around a supermassive black hole.
The dust ring is called a torus.
The torus resembles debris in a tornado.
The dust may block the black hole depending on the viewing angle.
The images were captured by NASA telescopes.
