My second astronomical picture here... nowhere as good as hypernova, but whatever.

When a supermassive star (many times more massive than our sun) dies in a Supernova, it may leave behind a neutron star, that is composed of incredibly compacted matter. As time passes, some of those neutron stars are so massive that they collapse even further to their own gravity and reach a point where density is so high that the gravity is strong enough to prevent even light from escaping it - thus a black hole is born.

These tiny objetcts are amongst the most exotic in the universe. A spoon filled with black hole material would weight as much as all of Earth, and the gravity field is so strong that deforms the space around it. They are also responsible for strong gamma ray bursts as matter falls beneath it's event horizon.

[Edit: improved outer disks and gamma ray bursts... still not great, but better]

You should add variation over the whole piece, instead of one solid color.

BTW... there are three parts in the picture: the black hole itself (that is totally black, that's NOT shading, it's part of the disc!), the disc of matter orbiting it (that glows when it falls on hole) and the two gamma ray bursts, perpendicular to disc.
