WIP Black hole painting.

Since downloading is not allowed on school comps Im going to make the best of it by using the two most best'est in the world!(I know thats really not a word but who cares.) Paint and photo_editor. Anyway Im making a portrait of a nebula with a distant black hole eating suns for breakfast. Its going to take several study halls (days) to complete it. So give suggestions, Tell me what looks like complete crap, and what doesn't. enjoy.

When you surf the internet you're technically downloading the HTML, CSS, JPG, GIF, PNG etc files to the computer's cache. :p

looks like crap, but its paint, so it looks awesome :) fix left side middle against the edge.

an idea: add a dust trail from the blue nebula leading into the blach hole area, like the hole is sucking away at it.

you made it look like the "stars" near the black hole are zooming toward it. Instead, turn the "tails" the other way, so it looks like the gas is being pulled into the black hole.

Here's a reference shot of a black hole that you can work from. It's a close-up:

yeah... a black hole is so small it wouldnt fit on even one pixel, if it had a color... and wasnt.. like... nothingness? or was it negative/anti - space/matter?

Supposedly what you see is matter being pulled into the black hole.

A black hole isn't nothingness. The exact opposite, actually. An extremely dense mass. You can see the event horizon of matter being pulled in. There's also supposed to be a time effect, so that matter, though moving near light speed, appears to move slowly.

No, that's not the case. SniperWolf has it correct:

Black holes actually have been proven, as well as discovered; it's just that you can't see the black hole itself, just like you cannot see the core of a planet or star. All you can do for looking at a black hole is look at the matter arround it. since it possesses infinite density at the core, the gravitational pull from it causes anything that's being pulled toward it to give off a lot of short-wavelength electromagnetic energy. Thus, black holes are easily spotted with an X-Ray telescope such as the Chandra orbital observatory, though they are hard to distinguish with a standard optical telescope such as the Hubble.
