Wann Sie Einstein Ring 3D Explorer

Use this explorer when you want to see how gravity bends light into rings and arcs, and skip it when you want the redshift of light or the geometry of curved spacetime.

  • Classroom demos of gravitational lensing and Einstein rings
  • Showing why alignment turns a ring into arcs and multiple images
  • Connecting light bending to the 1919 test of general relativity

This is an educational visualization with an exaggerated ring and illustrative light paths, not a ray-traced lens model.

Walk the controls in the step-by-step guide, or compare options in vs alternatives. Open the Einstein Ring 3D Explorer.
