Blog Post Image: NASA’s NuSTAR Sees Rare Blurring of Black Hole Light

The regions around supermassive black holes shine brightly in X-rays. Some of this radiation comes from a surrounding disk, and most comes from the corona, pictured here in this artist’s concept as the white light at the base of a jet. This is one possible configuration for a corona — its actual shape is unclear. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
