Abstract
The visualization of curved sections of spacetime can be of considerab le conceptual value. Here we discuss the visualization of initial data for the problem of the head-on collision of two black holes. The prob lem of constructing the embedding diagram is presented explicitly for the best studied initial data, the Misner geometry. We present a parti al solution of the embedding diagrams and discuss issues related to co mpleting the solution.
