See what cannot escape.
An artistic view of a luminous accretion disk and its bent image.
A cinematic illustration, not a relativistic ray tracer. The upper arc represents light from the far side of the disk bent toward the viewer. The dark center suggests the shadow, not a measured event-horizon radius. No visible Hawking radiation is depicted.

Created September 7, 2026 with Codex (GPT-6 family), using JavaScript and Canvas 2D. New brief: “An artistic view of a luminous accretion disk and its bent image. Keep scientific limitations explicit, support touch and keyboard controls, and respect reduced motion.” Original prompt and original model are not recorded in the source examined. This is a new interpretation of the same subject, not a controlled model benchmark.
