Very beautiful rendering

#4Very original! Congrats! It's better looking than the old Möbius strip, and the maths are not that bad :)

#5Very nice work, and the diagram wrt the PS was very instructive & helped very much with visualising the bending of light. Thanks!

#9Wonderful! The descriptions of the accretion disk images are particularly good.
Recently for an abstract art project I wrote a simple gravitational lens simulator to distort an image as if there was a 10 Earth mass black hole between the viewer and the objects: http://www.tjradcliffe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/test1....
It was a quick hack to explore the idea, and I'm pretty sure important details aren't right, but it was good enough for going on with. While doing it I remember thinking, "I wish I had time to explore this whole process properly." Now I don't have to!
