Everything suddenly becoming white inside a black hole

09 Apr 2025 03:16

Hello guys, it's a long time I don't do this thing in Space Engine: entering inside a black hole, and I remember the whole "outside" stretching in a circle smaller and smaller and also brighter. Right now if I cross the event horizon everything suddenly turns white everywhere I look. Do you think this a wanted thing or is it a bug?

It's an intended effect in place after the general relativity update and the introduction of new black hole geodesics. Now the camera see what an actual observer falling towards the black hole could see. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to keep also the previous code or make the program "fall back" to that as a feature.

I do miss the visual drama of the old version, but it’s cool to know it’s now based on what a real observer would experience according to general relativity

Yeah, me too. If was almost scary, but a nice experience. Too bad we will never have it back:)
