This image displays a visualization of a supermassive black hole.
The dark center is the black hole itself, while the bright light
surrounding it is the accretion disk, which is material that emits
light as it spins at high speed. The curved light effect above and
below the black hole is a gravitational lensing phenomenon, where
its massive gravity bends the surrounding light. This visualization
is known for its scientific accuracy.
Planet Miller
Gargantua (Black Hole)
Miller's Planet is a fictional planet from the film
Interstellar that experiences extreme gravitational time
dilation. This is caused by its very close orbit to the
supermassive black hole named Gargantua
1 hour = 7 years on earth
This black hole visualization became popular thanks to the science
fiction film Interstellar (2014), where it was named Gargantua. The
design was created based on Albert Einstein's Theory of General
Relativity, with guidance from theoretical physicist Kip Thorne. Due
to its scientific accuracy, this image is often used as a wallpaper
to represent the cosmic mystery and beauty.

Gravitational Time
Gravity slows time
Gravitational time dilation is a phenomenon in which time
runs slower in areas with strong gravity.
