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 special objects in the universe: they can arise from violent explosions of very massive stars... they deform the space-time 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 lasts about 1.5 hours and consists of the above planetarium performance followed by a projection of the starry sky, a visit to the telescopes in the observation tower, and the exhibition space of Cozmix.
