The famous black hole in the movie Interstellar (2013), created by Christopher Nolan, is the result of a program with 40,000 lines of C++ code, where its developers implemented the famous equations of General Relativity.
This software processed thousands of 23-megapixel IMAX frames using processors with a total of 32,000 cores, and produced the output that you see in the film.
The team behind the design of this software and the film consisted of several astrophysicists, whose names are mentioned in a paper they presented.
One of these astrophysicists was Kip Thorne, who won the Nobel Prize in 2017 for the detection of gravitational waves.
