photon sphere

"So if this station is within the photon sphere, how can we see it?"

This is a special orbit known as the photon sphere.

Only the main viewer seemed to work perfectly, looking out of the photon sphere.

A surface on which light can orbit a black hole is called a photon sphere.

With the right knowledge and technology a ship might survive crossing the photon sphere.

"I cannot tell you anything else, but she's limping down toward the photon sphere."

The station is somehow anchored to space far outside of the photon sphere, which has kept it safe.

"Somewhere around the order of one point five million gravities, as you approach the photon sphere."

Now, as the photon sphere approached, he knew the premonition had been for himself.

"He rode across the photon sphere on the bridge."

Other compact objects, such as neutron stars, can also have photon spheres.

There are no stable free fall orbits that exist within or cross the photon sphere.

"Is there any way to grasp the anchor before it vanishes beyond the photon sphere?"

However, she's attempting to move into the photon sphere."

"I believe the alien captain dragged us across the photon sphere because we held him against his will.

The Resaurian leader stood near the main viewscreen, which looked out of the black hole's photon sphere.

His maliciousness in dragging us across the photon sphere is proof enough of that."

"Coming up on the photon sphere," Tev called out.

A rotating black hole has two photon spheres.

The greater the spin of the black hole is, the farther from each other the inner and outer photon spheres move.

Similar properties of photon sphere were also found numerically for the metamaterial black hole.

One: a ship approached, drew almost to the photon sphere, perhaps hearing the distress signal, and then departed.

The photon sphere is located farther from the center of a black hole than the event horizon and ergosphere.

The photon sphere is where light can no longer escape, at one-point-five radii."

"If Tev's numbers are correct, we'll be transversing the photon sphere in moments."
