July 18: Secret Lives of Black Holes
Black holes are not just destructive—they're essential cosmic engines. From the supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies to stellar-mass black holes formed in the deaths of stars, explore black hole formation, growth, and their surprising roles in shaping galaxies. With recent breakthroughs like the first-ever images of black holes, uncover how these mysterious objects influence everything from star formation to the growth of the universe itself.
Space is infinite but planetarium seats are not—reserve spots while they last. Choose from four 20-minute shows starting at 5:00, 5:30, 6:00, or 6:30 PM. Be prepared for staff to check your membership card and be ready to enter 10 minutes in advance as these shows will begin promptly.
