Happy Black Hole Week! To celebrate, we’re releasing the highest-resolution ray-traced still from one of our simulations to date. This image was produced by Cornell research associate William Throwe. Use your scroll wheel or the +/- buttons to zoom in/out, or the icon to go full screen!
This data is served by ZoomHub, which uses the open-source package OpenSeadragon for zooming the 43,200 × 21,600 pixel rendering. This still comes from the same simulation seen in this 1080p movie below. Read more about gravitational lensing here, or in our journal article.
