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, according to classical mechanics or general relativity (Schwarzschild or Kerr). It also describes the main characteristics of black holes and features visualizations and animations illustrating light bending, photon trajectories and orbits around them.
