Black holes

adult performance from 12 years old Studying Zwarte gaten forces us to think about space, time and gravity. What these concepts mean exactly is difficult to explain, but they play a fundamental role in the universe. Zwarte gaten are probably the most unusual objects in the universe: they can arise from violent explosions of very massive stars... they warp the spacetime around them... they devour stars... and generate gravitational waves that are detectable on earth. Zwarte gaten are still at the edge of our knowledge. Unraveling their secrets is one of the most fascinating challenges in human history. A visit takes about 1.5 hours and consists of the above planetarium show followed by a projection of the starry sky, a visit to the telescopes in the observation tower and the exhibition space of Cozmix.
