The tortoise coordinate is r∗​=r+(rh​/2)log∣(r−rh​)/(r+rh​)∣. Set u=t−r∗​ and v=t+r∗​, then U=−e−u/rh​ and V=ev/rh​ in the right exterior. The extended radial metric is −rh2​(r+rh​)2e−2r/rh​dUdV/r2, regular at r=rh​. The horizons are UV=0, while r=0 gives UV=1 and is a spacelike curvature singularity. Compactification by arctanU,arctanV displays two exteriors, a future black hole and a past white hole.
