⚫ Schwarzschild Geodesics — Orbit & Deflection (2D)

2D Canvas simulator of Schwarzschild black-hole geodesics: numerically integrated photon and massive-particle trajectories, light deflection, capture, and orbital precession around the event horizon.

⚙ Under the hood

Launch photons and massive particles near a Schwarzschild black hole and watch numerically integrated geodesics curve, precess, or plunge in this 2D top-down view. Adjust angular momentum, energy, initial distance, and black hole mass to explore light deflection, capture below the photon sphere, and orbital precession near the ISCO.
