From Michael Fett
I look intently at the pictorial representations of black holes that appear regularly in New Scientist and wonder: with all that light-bending going on, it seems strange that none of the bent light obscures the black hole’s event horizon and disc from external observers.
I would expect intuitively that one would see a smudge or a normal space-scape, not a black black hole. If this is the case, it raises a tricky question for illustrators: how can black holes be both accurately rendered and scary-looking?
