Circling a Black Hole at its Photon Sphere

COSMIC MESSAGE

If you were at a black hole's photon sphere, where light can orbit, the view would be extreme. Half the sky would be completely black, while the other half would appear unusually bright. You would even see the back of your own head across the middle. This computer animation depicts such a unique perspective near a black hole.
