Since , the inverse- radial terms cancel. The ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates give
At , . Thus all coefficients are analytic there, and the determinant of the metric block is , not zero. The angular area is also nonzero. This is an analytic extension of a spacetime through the apparent coordinate singularity, into the regular region .
