About This Simulation

This is a real-time ray-traced simulation of a Schwarzschild black hole with an accretion disk, powered by WebGPU. The simulation uses general relativistic ray tracing to accurately depict gravitational lensing, photon sphere effects, and the characteristic appearance of matter spiraling into the event horizon. The accretion disk glows due to friction-heated matter, with colors ranging from red (cooler outer regions) to white-hot (near the inner edge).
