M87* and the Jets
@ehtelescope imaged a black hole in the M87 galaxy; previously, @NASASpitzer saw jets and shockwaves emanating from it in infrared light. Teamwork! https://go.nasa.gov/2mVkNtH

Basically you have the accretion disk around the equator of the black hole, and then you have the jets which come out of the poles and are perpendicular to the plane of the accretion disk.
There aren't many simulations that go through the varying views of black holes because the gravitational lensing creates some very odd effects. If the black hole is spinning, that adds a different set of odd effects.
