Black Holes

Running Time: 60 minutes

This immersive digital dome production is narrated by John de Lancie, also know as "Q" of the Star Trek series. The program incorporates several of the latest theories regarding black holes. Designed for general audiences, this full-length production features scientifically accurate 3-D simulations of black holes and the strange relativistic effects they can create.

Topics include: How are super massive black holes made? Where did the idea of a black hole come from? What was Einstein's connection to them? How do we detect them? How have they been portrayed in the media? What would happen if you were to approach one? Will the Earth ever get sucked into a black hole? Are there really such things as "worm holes"?

With a host of advisors from around the country, this proves to be the most up-to-date and visually stimulating black holes show ever produced!

Sound effects and 5.1 surround sound mix preformed by Skywalker Sound.

The program concludes with a live look at the current night sky.
