For over a century, black holes were assumed to exist, yet direct observational confirmation of their existence remained elusive.
The very idea of imaging a black hole was long thought to be the realm of science fiction. However, in April 2019 the Event Horizon Telescope, together with Ziri Younsi, stunned the world with the first ever picture of a black hole.
In this talk Ziri will explore how we are now able to capture images of black holes using the Event Horizon Telescope, what we can learn from these images, and how these and future explorations will help advance our understanding of the origins of space, time, and the Universe itself.
This event is particularly suitable for ages 13+. As with all our family theatre talks, this event is designed to be enjoyed by adults and young people together. All young people under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by a paying adult.
