what you're looking at

gravitational lensing
each view ray is integrated through curved spacetime, bending light from behind the hole into Einstein rings.
accretion disk
hot orbiting plasma with doppler beaming: the side rushing toward you is boosted brighter and blue-shifted.
photon sphere
the thin bright shell at 1.5× the horizon where light can orbit the black hole.
chromatic aberration
the colour channels bend by slightly different amounts at the photon ring, splitting the light.
starfield
a procedural hash field, lensed by the same ray-bending — no textures, all code.
