Now Showing in the Faulkner Planetarium
“Black Hole: First Picture” (w/ live presentation “Black Holes: A Deeper Dive”)
Black Hole First Picture, produced by Cosm Studios in partnership with Radboud University and ESO, details the effort to create the very first picture of a black hole. For years, the Event Horizon Telescope, a globe-spanning network of radio telescopes with an unrivaled sharpness of vision, has been staring into the hearts of the Milky Way and galaxy Messier 87, gathering the data to construct the first images of the shadows of Sagittarius A* (our galaxy's central supermassive black hole), and the black hole M87*. Two young astronomers on the EHT team travel to remote locations to take part in this historic scientific mission to see what has never been seen: the warped spacetime surrounding a black hole.
Following the program, “Black Holes: A Deeper Dive” is a live fulldome presentation exploring the nature, types, and sizes of black holes, produced by the Faulkner Planetarium.
