Gravitational Lensing

Interactive lab: Mass bends space, and space bends light.

What is this?

A visual, interactive experiment about Gravitational Lensing. Its main parameters update live and the simulation runs entirely in the browser.

How it works

The thin-lens equation β = θ − α(θ) creates multiple images and magnification. Einstein radius scales as √M.
