Black Holes - a photo on Flickriver

Black Holes

            With a little luck, you can capture black holes without access to a powerful telescope! 
Here is my fortunate capture of several black holes in various stages of accretion. Also, some of them seem to be in the  process of merging. As a bonus, interstellar space was somehow imaged in the form of a wire-like grid. One can see how the fabric of space is distorted around the black holes by their powerful gravity fields. 

NB1 - Apparently, some kind of interaction between the metal window frame through which I was shooting, the sensor in my ancient iPhone 4S and the local wireless 3G communications network made this image possible. Please note that newer iPhones and newer networks (e.g. 5G) may not have this capability. As I say, when questioned about my continued use of an iPhone 4S, "If it ain't broke, don't replace it." 

NB2 - A UFO can be seen in the upper right hand corner. 

Location of window: An old, currently unused storage building, near the Dorf Kern (Village central area) Riehen BS Switzerland. 

In my album: Dan's Windows.
