The black hole compression disk, this is the material that black holes, they suck in, it circles around the black hole in ever smaller orbits as it's heading toward the event horizon. And as it's doing so, all that material is getting compressed. And as it's getting compressed, it heats up, and as it heats up, it gives off radiation in the form of light. There was a picture taken of a black hole not too long ago, a couple years back, how heavy it's been, and we're not really seeing the black hole per se, but what you're seeing is this accretion disk. So it's the first time an accretion disk has been photographed, and within 90 degrees you see this dark region where you know that's where the black hole resides. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec. And the map model explains why black holes shadow the dark. So most electrons reside in the accretion disk, while the jet regions above and below are relatively particle poor. And this creates a sharp contrast in the images. So ordinary astrophysical plasma is often expelled by powerful jets, leaving the shadow region especially faint. So dark matter, however, could continuously inject new particles that radiate in this region. So they're looking for some sort of radiation. They're looking for some sort of radiation that wouldn't be produced by these electrons, because they reside mainly in the accretion disk, not in this other darker region that's pretty much devoid of electrons. And it's there that they think dark matter will interact and will give off radiation, and they'll be able to detect that at that point, and no dark matter is residing there. Stop it.
