Need help finding image of wormhole diagram

In this screencap from "In Purgatory's Shadow," there's a diagram of the wormhole behind Sisko's head:

At least, I think that's the wormhole. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a better picture of that. Thanks. :)
 
As long as I have a whole thread open here, does anyone have any info on how the wormhole supposedly "works"? Possibly in relation to this diagram here? I'm wondering what the likes of Bormanis, Sternbach, the Okudas, and other science-minded people had to say about the mechanics of the wormhole, its relation to physical space and subspace, officially or otherwise. Also what kind of fan theories are out there, and what you guys think!

Let's really start geeking out here!

Mods, if you think this thread should be moved to Trek Tech, that's cool with me.
 
Well, now that you got your photo, I think the DS9-specific issue has been addressed.

If you want to know about the theory of how wormholes work, I think you'd get a better discussion of that topic in Trek Tech.

I'll go ahead and move this thread so that the gang over there can assist you further. :)

If I remember my A Brief History of Time correctly a wormhole would theoretically be the stable meeting of two quantum singularities. Basically, by infinitely bending time the singularities would meet in subspace(?). If one entered one singularity one could theoretically come out the other end thereby jumping across a huge distance via the bending of space-time because of the gravitational wells.

However, for a real wormhole to work a way to overcome the consequences of entering a space of massive gravity would have to be overcome. Good luck with that.

I'm no expert on this. I'm sure there's an error two in even those small paragraphs. Those who are actually astrophysicists (I know there must be some out there!) please help me out.
