Virtual View of a Black Hole

 In the center of a swirling whirlpool of hot gas is likely a beast that has never been seen directly: a black hole. Studies of the bright light emitted by the swirling  gas rotating frequently indicate not only that a black hole is present but another dence object either a neutron star or another black hole is there too. The gas is seen to be rotating at about 450 times a second.
