The simplicity of the Morris-Thorne wormhole spacetime permits us to determine null and timelike geodesics by means of elliptic integral functions and Jacobian elliptic functions. This analytic solution makes it possible to find a geodesic which connects two distant events. An exact gravitational lensing, an illumination calculation, and even an interactive visualization become possible.
