Black Holes
45 minutes
They lurk in the universe like cosmic dragons, unseen voids containing the energy of a million suns. They can devour entire stars, and once in their grasp, nothing — not even light — can escape.
Few mysteries in the universe have the power and awe of the black hole. Only now are we on the verge of understanding their true nature. What are they? How are they made? Is the earth in danger of being pulled into one?
Discover the answers to these questions and more in Black Holes, a full-dome, full-length production featuring 3-D simulations of black holes and the strange physical and visual effects they can create. See and feel what it might be like to approach the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, or speculate on the existence of worm holes, theoretical portholes in space and time.
