Supermassive Blackhole binary

Added 2021-06-25 10:29:05 +0000 UTC

Heres where im at so far with this months work: the Enterprise G visiting a supermassive black hole binary active galactic nucleus. The smaller black hole (5million solar masses) is passing in front of the larger billion solar mass blackhole and lensing it. They both have their own accretion disks and are surrounded by a larger one they both share and draw from. The accretion disks have powerful magnetic fields running through them, powered by the rotation of the singularities, and these fields convert some of the infalling matter streams into polar jets which accelerate away from the north and south poles of each black hole. The binary pair rotates around a point called the barycentre, like two dancers holding hands and spinning in place, but as one blackhole is much more massive than its partner, the barycentre is closer to it, and so the polar jets are corkscrew shapes with the smaller black holes jets being more tightly coiled. At least thats the idea.
Big thanks to Mark Arandjus, a fellow Star trek fan with whom I brainstormed this stuff and who you should check out on Artstation!
The lensing idea is from an amazing recent video, the rest is pure guesswork on my part.
Im going to do a polish pash asap, hopefully this weekend, i want to revise the matter streams coming from the big accretion disk, the one of the left is definitely going the wrong way, but I hope you like it so far, keep an eye out for the finished one in the next few days, Ill put the PSD etc in the dropbox so you can dismantle it if you like!

Oh and keep the awesome suggestions coming in for what I should draw. They usually take a while to come to fruition but once the seed is sewn it tends to grow in my mind till i HAVE to build it!!
