I am not a physicist but I was curious if there was any information on the following thought experiment. Say a beam of light emitted from a far away star passed a black hole at just the right direction that it became entrapped in a sort of orbit like the moon around the earth. Is this possible and would it then be entrapped until the black hole either became more or less massive changing its pull and disrupting uniform circular motion? Or are there other effects that prevent this? Thanks in advance!
