Binary Black Holes

Two black holes waltz in a blaze of bent light and burning gas.

Two black holes locked in a death spiral, each dragging a glowing accretion disk as they circle a shared center of gravity. Light bends around them in warped lensing rings, and as the orbit tightens the disks flare brighter before the pair drifts back apart and begins again. Tune the orbital separation and speed, recolor the searing disks, and toggle the gravitational lensing for a calmer or more dramatic sky.
