This is so cool. Thank you for sharing. Now I know why the shape is like that.

I always wondered about this topic. This is amazing! Thanks for sharing this useful info.

One of the Interstellar developers responded back to me and is now aware of your work. Here is the paper you refer to in case others want to read it also:

O. James, E. von Tunzelmann, P. Franklin, and K.S. Thorne, "Gravitational lensing by spinning black holes in astrophysics, and in the movie Interstellar", Classical and Quantum Gravity, 32, 0650001 (2015). http://stacks.iop.org/0264-9381/32/065001

There are also a number of videos of gravitational lensing of star fields by a spinning black hole at this website.

That would be a great addition, thanks! Their videos are much prettier(and more complex to calculate) than mine XD.

I have forwarded a link to your post to a friend who worked on the science and graphics for Interstellar. I am sure they will enjoy your work.

Wow, that's amazing, thanks a lot! I would really like to hear their professional opinion about this.

Very interesting. I'm trying to re-evaluate your code locally but I ran into problems with this package:

<< PhysicalColor`

What is this package and where can it be obtained?

Hi Bryant,

I found it on the GitHub repo.
POSTED BY: Rohit Namjoshi

Hmm. I'm unable to PacletInstall[] the .paclet file in that GitHub location. How do you install it?
POSTED BY: Jeffrey Bryant

Never mind. I made a mistake in how I downloaded the file.
