Introducing BLACK HOLES: The Other Side of Infinity
|  BLACK HOLES: The Other Side of Infinity is our new daily planetarium show utilizing the digital GSX™ system. There's a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space literally come to end. BLACK HOLES: The Other Side of Infinity features Academy Award-nominated actor Liam Neeson as our narrator and guide through other-worldly wormholes to experience striking animations of the formation of the early universe, the collision of giant galaxies, the violent death of a star and a simulated flight to a super-massive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy.

Explore "Black Holes: Space Warps & Time Twists"; an Out-of-This-World Exhibition
|  Explore what we know, don't know, and think we know about one of the world's greatest space mysteries-black holes. These regions in space, sometimes only a few kilometers across, have gravity so powerful that light cannot escape and matter drawn into them is lost forever. Einstein imagined black holes but doubted they could exist in nature - now evidence suggests they are quite common. Join a space mission on a journey to the edge of these strange phenomena to discover how new research turns science fiction into fact, challenging our notions of space and time in the process. More>>
