Description
We consider a novel kind of plot for presenting the behaviour of null geodesics in Schwarzschild spacetime. Our diagram depicts various features of the light rays as recorded by different classes of observers. The idea stems from the use of phase portraits for illustrating the null geodesics in Schwarzschild spacetime, above and below the horizon of a black hole, but they reveal unphysical characteristics. The plots we propose are free from such anomalies. Moreover they allow us to discover new under-horizon features
