4o Prompt: Please generate an image of a phenomenally clear, placid, pristine mountain lake at night. A vast, single mountain range looms in the background behind the lake. There is no ambient light from the moon, only the stars, which makes the mountain itself invisible if not for its occlusion of starlight. An impossibly crisp, highly luminescent spiral band of starts is visible just between the mountain range and the top of the image. A far larger, more detailed reflection of the galactic vista overhead strikes the lake — and is only visible as a reflection — to unveil a torrent of swirling color, volatile reactions and colliding celestial bodies around a black hole. It appears as if the moon has been replaced by this black hole, with light refracted by the event horizon circumscribing a path reminiscent of planetary rings being bent out of shape by some unimaginably powerful force. Virtually everything in the image other than the view of space is black, shadowed and reveals very little detail. It is only a backdrop for the unsettling cosmic drama beyond.
