Subject: Leverage OpenGL's power to build mesmerizing black holes

Sharing articles I think your group might find interesting:

If physics or astronomy have ever fascinated you, then I think you'll
be interested in an article just published on the O'Reilly Network.

Author Chris Halsall describes how you can simulate building a black
hole, complete with a mesmerizing visual display. Chris uses OpenGL, an
API developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) in order to make 3D application
developers' lives easier. Chris includes the program and makefile with
the article, and there are links to other articles about OpenGL. Chris
is the President of Open Source Solutions Inc.  and a specialist at
automating information gathering and presentation systems.
