Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity
The Museum is proud to present this show produced right here in Gates Planetarium. The most up-to-date data from space is used to tell this dramatic story of black holes, projected on the grand scale of a dome. Experience the formation of the Milky Way, then plunge into the monstrous black hole that lurks at its core. Technology and physics limit our ability to enter an actual black hole, but this virtual voyage is so incredible that you’ll never miss the real thing.
