Event Details
Adler Planetarium Astrophysicist, Dr. Michael Zevin, will tell all that we ever wanted to know about those ripples in the fabric of space and time known as Black Holes. First predicted by Albert Einstein, and confirmed nearly a century later, astrophysicists are learning about gravitational waves, changing understanding of black holes, neutron stars and stellar evolutions.
