A dark sphere surrounds us
Surreal...oblivious...
In the centre of the galaxy
A hidden force has found us
Powerful...mysterious...
At the boundary of eternity
Nothing escapes, not even light
Beyond the mystical horizon
We surrender to its might
Gazing into the eye of the universe
A deep roar is sounding
Deafening...thunderous...
As if the universe were crying
My heart is pounding
Frantic...delirious...
My every nerve is dying

I hear screams of fallen souls, sad cries of agony
Within the void of this evil hole, deep inside the black
Could it be my imagination, the mirror of my fantasy?
A fear-induced hallucination
Or is there no way back from the halo of darkness?
Spirits - apparitions - misery - suffering
Horrid dreams and dire visions rising up from the black
Look away in disbelief, this cannot be happening
The end has come, I bow in grief
There is no way back from the halo of darkness

Now silence devours us
Massive...suffocating...
The calm before the storm
Gravity overpowers us
Invincible...dominating...
And leads us through the final door
Feed me light, I'm the halo of darkness
Feel my might, I'm the eye of the universe

is that an artists impression or actual hubble/other telescope pic?

I believe its a bit of both, the background is a direct image of we can see of our galaxy, also known as the Milkyway. The spin has been added.

It may be from a Discovery Channel special.

it's an artists impression, but in teory if the blackhole would is in our sky,in night, you'll see that.

La mia lingua madre non è l'inglese, pezzo di merda, qualcosa in contrario ?
oltretutto la mia lingue è molto più bella e antica della tua.
Scommetto che non hai capito un cazzo di quello che ho detto, mentre io si.

My mother tongue isn't english, piece of shit, do you have any objections ? Besides my language is much more beautiful and ancient than yours. I bet that you have understood nothing (literally "a dick") of what I've said, while I have.

this is a physician's representation of the light distortion near the even horizon of a black hole, so, i think is very accurate i think...

Things to know about black holes:
You cant see one. You can however look for certain characteristics that give evidence of it being there.
They only way they are detected is when they know that light *should* be passing through a region but doesn't.
Theres certain problems in parallax shift around the center in the Event Horizon.
Also-- that song is emo as hell. Get some friends.

We can also see it's gravitational effects, with the super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy, we can see stars literally whipping around the center of mass at extreme speeds.

How can we take a picture of the milky way when no spacecraft of ours has even gotten close to the next star system over from ours, nevermind far enough out to take a pic of the whole galaxy...

That pic is an astronomical photograph with distortion added. Those clouds you see in the background are what you could see of our own little galaxy if your eyes were tremendously more photosensitive.

The reason we can't see the full brightness of our galaxy is because we are almost directly in the plane with it and the light is obscured by those dark clouds.

Now post some fucking HR!

I wonder what would happen if you made a relatively empty bobble, several times larger than the horizon on a stellar mass black hole and then threw the bobble in said black hole?

1/0 ?

We can also detect the intense radiation given off as matterbeing drawn in passes the event horizon.

If you stand back far enough, space is just a uniform sea of galaxies though.

Go back to the beginning of the age of Population III stars and that's pretty much what you have.

My theory is galaxies rotate around something ginormous like individual solar systems orbit the center of a galaxy. So if you stood back far enough you would see a swirl... again.
