Here's take 2, which I could luckily wire together much more quickly. It's a pretty simple shader overall and fast to compute. I also put together a version with chromatic aberration, and while it looked cool, it also broke the soft outline a made it look more like a glass orb.

Buuut, if I attenuate based on facing, I should be able to taper off before it hits the edge. Maybe.

A tiny black hole with a brightly glowing accretion disc spins in the viewport.

....and here we've got chromatic aberration working. Not bad. Kinda subtle. Some of these parameters are kinda hard to tune, but not too bad.

Just need to package this into a custom node now.

A tiny black hole with a bright accretion disc and some very physically inaccurate chromatic aberration spins wildly in the viewport.

Messing with it, hammering out the rough edges, and added a feature to make the core glow instead of black. Cuz of course I would.

A strange particle wobbles in the viewport, with a glowing core surrounded by distortion, and lots of tiny shapes orbiting in rings.

And here's something of a redux of the first, with the finished(ish) shader, and a bit more work on the particle motion. I think that's quite lovely.

Many tiny white particles spiral in toward a distorted center. It's a rad ass black hole.
