Black Hole Lens

Interactions
  • Drag the black hole across the sky: every star and the small galaxy re-lens around it, then it drifts home
  • Click a star: its two bent light paths are traced in pencil from the star, round the hole, to the eye
  • Click the disc: a blob of matter shears into an arc, spirals in past 6M and flares at the photon ring
