Flying through a Kerr black hole -- Visualizations — •Thomas Reiber — Universität Hildesheim

We use a maximal analytic extension of Kerr spacetime, which offers an interesting topology. An observer in it can pass through event horizons to reach distant asymptotically flat parts of the spacetime. To illustrate what an observer moving through a Kerr black hole would observe, a general relativistic ray tracer is used to calculate videos of the observers view for different geodesic movements of the observer.
