Event Information:
Black holes are, without question, one of the most bizarre and mysterious phenomena predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. They correspond to infinitely dense, compact regions in space and time, where gravity is so extreme that nothing, not even light, can escape from within. And, their existence raises some of the most challenging questions about the nature of space and time. Over the past few decades, astronomers have identified numerous tantalizing observations that suggested that black holes are real. This past April, the search for confirmat
