The article explores the visual effects an observer would experience while traveling near and descending to the surface of neutron stars and a black hole. The study, published in The American Journal of Physics in 1993, describes multiple imaging, red and blue shifting, conservation of surface brightness, the photon sphere, and multiple Einstein rings as perceived by the traveler.
