Virtual Trips to Black Holes and Neutron Stars
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/htmltest/rjn_bht.html
Descriptions and MPEG movies based on general relativistic simulations of black holes: What will an observer see close to a black hole, or in the neighborhood of a neutron star? Simulations and pages created by Robert Nemiroff (Michigan Technological University).
Step by Step into a Black Hole
http://www.spacetimetravel.org/expeditionsl/expeditionsl.html
Simulated images of a gradual descent into a black hole, provided by Ute Kraus (Theoretical Astrophysics group at Tbingen University).
Orbits in Strongly Curved Spacetime
http://www.fourmilab.ch/gravitation/orbits/
A JAVA applet which simulates the orbit of a low mass test particle orbiting a non-rotating black hole. Created by John Walker.
Numerical Relativity: Towards Simulations of 3D Black Hole Coalescence
http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9806088
Review article by Ed Seidel (then at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics) which discusses recent developments in numerical relativity. The main focus is the progress made in simulating the evolution of fully three-dimensional black holes.
Geometry around Black Holes
http://www.astro.ku.dk/RelViz/cramer/text/geom_web/node1.html
Web exhibition with visualizations of various properties of both Schwarzschild black holes and rotating (Kerr) black holes, such as curvature, light cones, and the gravitational frequency shift, produced by the Danish physics student Michael Cramer Andersen.
Falling into a Black Hole
http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/schw.shtml
Shows what it would be like to approach, orbit, and finally fall into a black hole; created by Andrew Hamilton (University of Colorado at Boulder).
