I take it as a funny and intentional joke 😉 The red light on the bottom is an accretion disk not a lens distortion of the galaxy in the background. Elite's black hole is also missing the light ring around the event's horizon. This video explains quite well why one side is brighter and one side...

...maybe originally Italian?) astrophysicist going by the name of Luciano Rezzolla said this: So even if it starts to spin crazy fast, its mass limit won't increase that much. So by sucking in even more matter from an accretion disk or a companion star, it should collapse? No? If no, then why...

I for one agree with many others that certain black holes need accretion disks. Then I thought about Sag A* needing one, and laughed because, isn't Sag A*'s accretion disk already in place? As in...isn't Sag A*'s accretion disk, the galaxy itself? Ever swirling and feeding the middle? Yes...

And this is why we don't have accretion disks - because we already have the biggest one of all.

They do. Or are you being a pedant and arguing that the event horizon has one not the "black hole" itself? Because one can easily argue against that as well. https://www.space.com/black-hole-disk-should-not-exist.html Note: When they say "should not exist" they mean "in that particular type of...

Accretion disks, especially if done "properly" in a very PG way, using the star types, masses, relative distances as parameters (as opposed to a fixed cut 'n' paste animation) would be awesome.

What we look at in the real world picture is the accretion disk which is over a million Kelvin hot and produces a huge amount of electromagnetic radiation, not just a distortion lens effect. Also the M87 black hole is around 1000 time bigger than SagA*.

What I see on the image is mind boggling. Both what I actually see, and also that scientists managed to capture this image. The only 'disappointment' is that we do not get to see it in a slightly sideways manner as no gravitational lensing occurs with the accretion disk.

Sometimes public preconceptions persist and people would they had rather be adhered to regardless of accuracy, probably because reality isn’t quite as cool as artists rendition. Blackholes have always been a black disc - a black....hole..... The artists got excited with a whirlpool vortex...

+1 for the reference. That Youtube guy nailed what it would look like !

Can't be sure of course, but I think that if you are flying a ship that can fold space the event horizon is a bit more arbitrary. But the enormous energy of an accretion disk could disrupt the FSD just as the neutron star ejecta does over a much wider angle of the black hole's local surroundings.

Even if you'd look at it edge on, you would still see parts of accretion disc as if it was perpendicular to us. It sounds weird. There are more difficulties to seeing Saggitarius A apparently. Due to our position in the galaxy we have almost half of it's diameter to look through. With the stars...

And you'd be looking at it from a really bad angle through the disk of the Milky Way with all its gas and dust. While the 1.3mm band is probably in a relatively trouble-free spot, geometry suggests the results wouldn't be much better than M87.

...novas, their gravity pull was so intense that they formed black holes. If this is true, then there are still stars inside, and the accretion disk is a gravitational border formed by the rotation of energy around it. This means that the black hole may have intense heat, a very large range of...

...now is a place holder for later on when FD finally upgrades them in the same way that neutron stars were recently upgraded. I'm sure that one day we'll see an accretion disk of some kind (even on small ones) one day in the future, and when that happens, I'm sure :unsure: they'll be dangerous.

...of the stellar systems in the game are procedurally generated anyway. Might as well add in a few more dynamic things here and there, if able, to spice things up a bit. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the occasional accretion disk around the odd black hole or the like as well, for example.

We might get to the problem with relativistic time in a multiplayer game as well. And it would be weird if approaching the poles would work without issues if approaching the disk becomes dangerous.

If that turns out to be accretion disks I'd be hyped beyond measure. White dwarf sucking another binary star's atmosphere before going nova, or the accretion disk around a black hole <3

I'd say that they can keep the current model for black holes in most systems, but in some they should add an accretion disk and the new model. When theres a star close enough they should add a haze in the same vein as the neutron star jets which extends to the star and looks like it's feeding...

It's missing the entire event horizon. What Braben is trying to pass off as an event horizon is just the darker part of the skybox being lensed.

now that would be amazing

I did kinda know that, but yeah you are right. I was just trying to come up with an interactive aspect that would be cool... but yeah, science prevails doesn't it. It is a Si-fi game afterall, can we just say "the gravity interacts with {insert Made up science name} to make the ship jump...

...10th April 2019, we get a look at the first ever image of a black hole. Obviously we cant see a black hole but we may well see an accretion disk in the image. Personally, I cant wait, I want to see it now. I think it would be really fitting if Fdev updated the ingame black holes to reflect...

Sag A doesn't accrete, so the galaxy can't be its accretion disk. No, they are called black holes for a reason :)

...manual implementation, is causality. These events might be rare enough that they could set something up. Similarly with intermittent accretion disk systems and the like. Would certainly make the galaxy a bit more interesting. As for the other concerns, everything is live in the galaxy...

Agreed and repped. I know it'll probably be down the road but I, too, would appreciate seeing an accretion disk around a black hole sometime in the future.

Yes, Sag A. Fdev could update some smaller black holes found within nebula but I understand that the vast majority in game are unlikely to have a matter based accretion disk around them. I like the lensing effect our current in game black holes provide, they are not all that bad, tbh.

Looking sweeeet! Ohh, Krait Phantom! Is that a small-pad ship, do ya reckon? The "lightning cloud" appears to be encircling a star... is that an ACCRETION DISK? :eek:

...thought so too, the pic is of M87's Supermassive Black hole during a relatively quiet period and is rather beautiful. The brightness variance in the ring of light comes from dilation - the bright part is travelling towards us, the dim side moving away as the accretion disk orbits the black...

...of light from it, and they seem to have an event horizon area, where energy and particles flow around, sometimes visible as an accretion disk. I prefer to see it in a simpler way, and that means either a star which emits energy beyond the visible spectrum, or a variant of dead star, like...

In fact, Braben may not be wrong. The galactic disk aligned behind the black hole works similarly to the accretion disc for the purpose of demonstrating that the distortion lens effect in the game produces the same effects as the scientific models. It is not that the game is simulating all the...

...sphere, and any photons from behind it being lensed appear as a ring around the event horizon. From the video: When you see the accretion disk in front of the black hole, you're seeing the part that is actually in front of it. The parts behind appear below and above the event horizon...

The skybox is a bit lacking at the moment I must admit, though the local cluster is fairly well stocked with red, blue and yellow stars. I wonder if I’ll get away with arranging an “accretion disk” of ornaments around the fireplace and pretend it’s Sag A? :)

...by the black hole modeling. It's got basic gravitational lensing but that's about it... no discernible event horizon shadow, no accretion disk. Forget space legs and atmospheric landings, I'd settle for realistic black holes! (As an aside, I do love that neutron stars also gravitationally...

Do you have a round concave mirror to put behind it?

I like this idea. Not entirely sure if it's really needed, but the mechanic you suggest seem quite amusing. Using the accretion disk as the boost material is clever, as black holes do not radiate almost anything (beside some weird virtual particle from quantum fluctuation - Hawking radiation)...

I'm wondering if that's an accretion disk of some kind...

...nearby in 2017. Scientists suggest the find brings them closer to understanding how exoplanets form. Artist's rendering of the accretion disk in ULAS J1120+0641, a very distant quasar powered by a black hole with a mass two billion times that of the Sun.[1] A quasar (/ˈkweɪzɑːr/) (also known...

So if i understand it right the magnetic field is so extreme that its taking matter from the accretion disk and expelling it.

As black holes should be. It's just a big gravity well, and our ship's computers know very well how to deal with gravity wells. An accretion disk could, potentially, be about as hazardous as an asteroid ring around some other celestial body. The biggest hazard around black holes would be...
