NEW! Black Holes Revealed

One of our most popular public shows is available as a school program. See accurately calculated visualizations of the appearance of black holes, what makes us think they are real, and how we look for them. We also view a short video about Dr. Andrea Ghez, an astronomer who shared in the Nobel Prize in Physics for her studies of the black hole at the center of our galaxy.
