“I've always been into things like exploring and science on the frontiers. I had pictures of space up in my room way back in middle school, right next to the boy band posters!”
-Christina Koch, American Engineer and NASA Astronaut

Coming Up on Universe Unplugged

Gravity, Black Holes, and Dark Matter
March 15, 11:00 AM

Black holes aren’t just monsters from science fiction. They’re real, and there are thousands of them in our universe. In this workshop, we will learn how the simple force of gravity can create these objects, and how they can become so powerful that even light can’t escape their pull. We will examine the different kinds of black holes, and build a black hole craft to take home.
