  Btw, if it's not clear why the universe seems to shrink into a small
circle above as you get closer to the event horizon, I drew a picture.
It demonstrates the reverse light paths which arrive at the observer
(ie. like reverse raytracing), which shows why most of the field of
view is covered by the event horizon when you are close enough to it:
