What it shows: Black hole captures star in tight orbit
The scene as painted: A massive black hole dominates the center of the image, its dark form set against a swirling vortex of purple and blue gas, with a single star in the foreground, its surface blurred to convey rapid spinning, as a smaller ejected star streaks away into the distance, under a dark ominous sky.
