NASA’s supercomputer has produced cutting-edge visualizations that allow viewers to plunge into the event horizon — the point at which a black hole’s gravitational pull becomes irresistible.
The visualizations were created by astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
“People often ask about this [what happens when we fall into a black hole], and simulating these difficult-to-imagine processes helps me connect the mathematics of relativity to actual consequences in the real universe,” said Schnittman.
