At 69% of light speed (463 million mph, 745 million kph), both the accretion disk and the starry background in the direction of camera motion (center) appear brighter due to Doppler boosting.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: At 69% of light speed (463 million mph, 745 million kph), both the accretion disk and the starry background in the direction of camera motion (center) appear brighter due to Doppler boosting. Another relativistic effect is becoming noticeable as well. Light coming from the sides now appears to shift progressively forward, a phenomenon called relativistic aberration. In this all-sky view, the complete arc of the Milky Way and much of the accretion disk appear near the center of the image, in the travel direction. The camera is about 8 million miles (13 million km) from the event horizon.Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/J. Schnittman and B. Powell

Metadata

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
