I'm trying to work out how to draw black holes and gravitational lensing in TPT. Please leave feedback in the comments.

    @J23PowderToy thank you! :D @Krystian260599 first off, that is one hell of a username lol, and oh i will. a good way to visualise the lensing effect itsself is by picturing the black hole as a mirror with a deep hole in the middle. you're looking straight at it and there is a picture of space reflected in the mirror that gets bent and stretched when it reflects in the edges of the hole.

    @sweetdrew typos exist, and unfortunately in TPT, the only way to change the name is to reupload the save, at which point it loses all views, votes and comments. Plus people might think it's a stolen copy and report it.

    I feel like someone is mad becuase their saves aren't as good as sentinal-5's ones so don't even care about someone like that guy

    dumbest thing ever it doesnt even do anything so whats the point of it? and you spelled black wroong so go back to preschool/spelling school to know how to spell or just rename it if you do know how to spell it

    The second image is the line that goes "around" the black hole. Finally, do not add this to your image. That would be simply too much work and not really increase the awesomeness. You could however copy a darker, more squished version of the galaxy to the upper part, closer to the hole. And please add some foreground stars. Thank you for making this, sorry for the wall of text and the physicsbabble, have a TPtato: 0

    This means that space seems emptier closer to the hole, but then the secondary images fill it up again until they are blocked by the accretion disk or the event horizon. Its weird. Try drawing a hole, you and some stars on a piece of paper, then connecting them to you while also keeping away from the hole. Draw a straight line at your point of view, at the angle the beams arrive. That is how you see the stars.

    Thing is, the second image mostly ends up inside the event horizon and thus never reaches you. The exceptions are behind the black hole, close to the you-hole axis and not too close to the hole itself. At the same time, the star images get pulled AWAY from the black hole the closer they get to it.

    Okay. First of all, this is amazing. Secondly, you are very brave to try this kind of image. Thirdly, well, the interesting part about gravitational lensing is that EVERY star has a second "image" on the opposite side, even the ones that are between you and the hole.
