Sagittarius A*

Flagship view of the Milky Way’s central black hole: thin disk, approximate lensing, photon-ring glow, and interactive controls.

Binary merger

Two supermassive black holes spiral in and coalesce. Time and distance are compressed for illustration — scrub the timeline yourself.

About accuracy: These are real-time artistic visualizations using WebGL fragment shaders. They are not numerical-relativity simulations or Event Horizon Telescope reconstructions. Labels on each page explain what is being approximated. No accounts, no tracking, no external image CDNs required.
