Image taken by Hubble space telescope of what may be gas accreting onto a black hole in elliptical galaxy NGC 4261.

Gravity causes material in the disc to spiral inward towards the central body.n accretion disc is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body.
