Black Holes Open House Summary

Fri, 05 Apr 2019 20:37:52 -0400

Thanks to everyone who attended our open house tonight! Tonight we had a discussion on black holes where we first looked at how physicists began to approach gravity, invisible objects, and black holes. We then talked about the life cycle of a star, specifically our sun, and how exactly black holes are formed. We discussed the properties of black holes and some interesting facts such as how tidal forces work in terms of black holes, about gravitational lensing, and about AGNs. We also got to look at our new telescope and go upstairs to see the observatory's main telescope! We hope to see you there next time!
