Visualisation of a black hole. Second in a series of four images from a computer simulation of gravitational waves emitted by a disturbed black hole. In this frame,the black hole is beginning to return to an equilibrium state. The colour and height of each point represent aspects of the gravitational wave fields; the black line near centre is the apparent surface of the black hole. As the black hole seeks its equilibrium state,it emits characteristic gravitational waves (its 'signature'). Compare with R670/047,049 & 050 | |
