BH question!?!?!?

[nikshliker]

If a sun were behind a BH far enough away that it wouldnt be affected by the BH, could u see it as an observer from the opposite side of the BH.? would the light bend around the BH enough to give u a complete or maybe inverted image of that sun? (sun) . . . . (bh) . . . . . (you) <-- see what i meen?<br />

Yes, you would be able to see it. The light coming from the star would be bend though through a process we call gravitational lensing. You might see one image of the star, or two, or a ring of images. It all depends. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>***</p> </div>
