Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity

Narrated by Academy-Award nominated actor Liam Neeson, Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity brings the current science of black holes to the dome screen. Supported by grants from NASA's high-energy GLAST telescope project and the National Science Foundation, this cutting-edge production features high-resolution, animated visualizations of cosmic phenomena, working with data generated by computer simulations. We'll bring you striking, immersive animations of the formation of the early universe, star birth and death, the collision of giant galaxies, and a simulated flight to a super massive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy. Thomas Lucas Productions in collaboration with Denver Museum of Nature & Science, NOVA, and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. General audiences; also available as a field trip program after April 25 .
