Event Details
Hear from leading researchers and experts in this new series that is a partnership with The University of Texas at Austin College of Natural Sciences. Each event will feature an in-person presentation and a science-themed documentary from Sandbox Films, the Oscar-nominated production studio that illuminates the art and beauty of scientific inquiry: humankind’s weird, messy, brilliant way of navigating the world.
“Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know” tells the story of a paradox at the heart of black holes: When something falls inside, is it truly lost forever? A tight-knit group of physicists, secluded in the English countryside, search for the answer.
Meanwhile, a global network of scientists builds a telescope, to achieve something more straightforward but equally profound: taking a photo of a black hole for the first time.
Preceding the film, hear from Dr. Karl Gebhardt, chair of the Department of Astronomy at The University of Texas at Austin and a resident expert on super massive black holes.
This is a featured event in this year’s Texas Science Festival.
