🕳️ Black Hole Accretion Disk Simulator (2D)

2D Black Hole – a top-down accretion disk orbits the event horizon with real inverse-square gravity and a gravitational-lensing distortion of the starfield.

⚙ Under the hood

A top-down 2D companion to the 3D black hole simulation: a Keplerian accretion disk orbits the event horizon under real inverse-square gravity, background stars swirl from simulated gravitational lensing, and you can throw matter in to watch it fall and get consumed.
