Warning: Do not browse while operating a motor vehicle or heavy equipment. The Black Earth or The Day when Earth became a Black Hole (*) Please have a look at the Simulation of a Black Hole by Raytracing for a more introductory page and a description of outside effects. For an insight into the curvature of space due to the gravitational field, as it was predicted by Albert Einstein in his theory ...

Relativistic Disk Images The images below represent an accretion disk around a black hole as it would appear to a distant observer. A relativistic ray-tracer calculated the photon trajectories; the images may appear distorted as a result of the gravitational lensing in the strongly curved spacetime. Color indicates the frequency shift of observed photons across the face of the disk, assuming ...
