Thanks for sharing White Rabbit! Good read!

I know eh Benny, Black Holes have always intrigued me also...

What really interesting to me is how the black hole looks when the star enters it.....with the two lines of energy above and below.....this is exactly what it looks like viewing Mercury on google sky....and yes I remember the disclaimers about using google sky...but the object that is seen in infrared look more like a black hole than a "winged disk" planet.... Just pointing out the similarities...not making any deductions....I'm no astronomer nor physicist.
