So you would have a black disc in the centre surrounded by glowing trails of dust/pebbles/gas etc (tends to be show as a spining disc..)
actually, i've seen a simulation of how a black hole is supposed to look like, and let me tell you it's wacky. looks like a big black sphere, with the accretion dis around it ( the acretion disk isn't larger than the hole itself, take the full black hole, the hole itself will took half the size easily ). Then that's the weird part: because f all that strange physics stuff, you see the part of the acretion disk that should be hiden behind the hole under AND above the hole, meaning that you can see both under and over that part of the disk at the same time. To picture it, imagine a 0 with an horizontal bar in the middle ( a round 8, if you want ) . the space between the lines is the hole, and the outlines are the acretion disk. And in motion, it... well I can't discribe iwith words, but it looks odd, to say the least.
