Astronomy
Magnitude Difference Calculator
Convert the difference between two stellar magnitudes into a brightness ratio. Essential for comparing how much brighter or dimmer one celestial object is relative to another.

Astronomy
Schwarzschild Radius Calculator
Compute the Schwarzschild radius — the event horizon size of a non-rotating black hole — from its mass via r_s = 2GM/c². The defining length scale of black holes, equal to about 3 km per solar mass.
