Explore the mysteries of black holes through interactive simulations. Understand event horizons, spaghettification, and time dilation with our cosmic playground.
Adjust the sliders to see how different factors affect black hole phenomena
The event horizon is the point of no return around a black hole. Adjust the mass to see how it changes.
As you approach a black hole, tidal forces stretch you into a long, thin shape. See how distance affects this effect.
Time moves slower near a black hole. Adjust the proximity to see how much time would slow for an observer.
The accretion disk forms as matter spirals into the black hole. See how mass affects the disk's appearance.
Discover fascinating facts about these mysterious cosmic objects
The largest black holes can be billions of times more massive than our Sun, with event horizons spanning millions of kilometers.
Once past the event horizon, not even light can escape a black hole's gravitational pull. This is why they appear completely black.
Time slows dramatically near a black hole. An observer far away would see a person falling in appear to freeze at the event horizon.
