Title: Bizarre structure created by black hole
Post by: Michael on June 08, 2009, 04:47:12 PM: Hello, I have been playing around in US when, for fun, turned the earth and sun into dust and fed them to a black hole when I got this:
This is a small structure less than thirty thousand kilometers across. The black hole I made into a quasar using impact marks

This image shows an angel wing-like structure

This coil of glowing gas is all that remains of the sun that I mentioned above. This view is from 71 M km away

This is the outer disk of dust and gas that is over 2500 LY from the black hole that produced it

Read what you said below, so here:

I am talking about the sun picture.

to hbmp88: Instead of double posting, if you're the last person to post you can simply edit your post. It makes reading forums less messy and confusing ;)

While it's still going to be awhile before the next update, I think you'll find it to be much easier to experiment with the massive user interface changes that I have planned.

To me I think I see a mass with one side shadowed. that doesn't apply to dust. Maybe you are mistaken about what I'm talking about. Or maybe I need to visit my local optometrist! ;D
