Veritasium explains what a black hole should look like, using J.P. Luminet's 1979 work and a cardboard 3D model to show how light bends around it. It was made just as the first black hole image was released.
Why HN recommends it: Recommended for correctly predicting the features of the real black hole image and clearly explaining the lensing physics behind it.
