Abstract: We present visualizations of recent supercomputer simulations from numerical relativity, exploiting the progress in visualization techniques and numerical methods also from an artistic point of view. The sequences have been compiled into a video tape, showing colliding black holes, orbiting and merging neutron stars as well as coll.ps.Zing gravitational waves. In this paper we give some background information and provide a glance at the presented sequences.
