		</div><p>Astronomers have shown the violent flaring at the centre of a black hole using state-of-the-art cameras.</p>
<p>They used the technology to create a high-frame rate movie of a growing black hole system at a level of detail never seen before.</p>
<p>Led by the University of Southampton, they also uncovered new clues to understanding the immediate surroundings of these enigmatic objects.</p>
<p>Black holes can feed off a nearby star and create discs of material – accretion discs – such as gas, dust and other stellar debris that has come close to it but not quite fallen in.</p>
<p>Here, the effect of a black hole’s strong gravity and the material’s own magnetic field can cause rapidly changing levels of radiation to be emitted from the system as a whole.</p>
<p>This radiation was detected in visible light by the HiPERCAM instrument on the Gran Telescopio Canarias (La Palma, Canary Islands) and in X-rays by Nasa’s NICER observatory aboard the International Space Station.</p>
<p>The research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society studied a black hole system called MAXI J1820+070, which was first discovered in early 2018.</p>
