The black hole’s extreme gravitational field redirects and distorts light coming from different parts of the disk, but exactly what we see depends on our viewing angle. The greatest distortion occurs when viewing the system nearly edgewise. Nearest the black hole, the gas orbits at close to the speed of light, while

General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulation of a black hole accretion disk and jet. The gas is orbiting around the central black hole and slowly moving toward it. The disk is highly turbulent and seeded with the entangled magnetic field lines, shown by the white lines. The jet structure is highlighted with the white contour surface. The disk is tenuous and would not be very luminous in the sky, which is a good model for Sgr A*, one of the main targets of the EHT. This simulation
