I disagree. The edge of a BH is essentially an asymptote. While there is a mathematical bright line, when looking at it you should see light in all manner of red/blue-shifted colors near the event horizon. Since that light is coming in from a variety of directions it leaves in a variety of directions too. Everything would look soft and fuzzy around the edges. Out of focus.
- codethief 5y agoOut of focus? I don't know about you but I find the black hole "edge" in the simulated images in Interstellar quite sharp. (Or are you talking about resolving matter/light near the event horizon? In that case I agree – one won't really resolve any structures anymore due to light getting bent and redshifted in a myriad of ways.)
