Photon Sphere Dynamics & Null Geodesics
A bundle of photons grazes the gravitational boundary of a non-rotating Schwarzschild singularity at radial coordinate r = 1.5 Rs. The trajectory encounters extreme spacetime curvature where orbital velocity theoretically matches the speed of light.
Astrophysical Inquiry:
What is the ultimate fate of photons orbiting within this unstable circular threshold upon microscopic perturbance?
