TRAJECTORIES AND DEFLECTIONS OF LIGHT IN A GRAVITATIONAL FIELD GENERATED BY A MASSIVE OBJECT

This page explores the calculation of light deflection in a gravitational field generated by a massive object or a black hole, according to classical mechanics or general relativity (Schwarzschild or Kerr). It also describes the main characteristics of astrophysical black holes and features visualizations and interactive animations illustrating light bending, photon trajectories and orbits around them.
