The Kruskal spacetime is the maximal analytic extension of the positive-mass vacuum Schwarzschild spacetime. It contains two exterior regions, a black hole, and a white hole. Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates remove both horizon coordinate singularities, while remains a curvature singularity.
Every maximal radial timelike geodesic in positive-mass Kruskal spacetime is incomplete in at least one direction. Its equations are and . A finite turning point is a maximum, and each trajectory reaches at one or both ends. The remaining proper time is finite because . Complete circular timelike geodesics exist, but they have nonzero angular momentum.
