About the event
A docent will point out night sky highlights and upcoming astronomical events. This is followed by a fulldome video presentation.
Gravitational waves from cosmic phenomena are rolling through each of us all the time. With the advent of LIGO, Laser Interferometric Gravity Observatory, these waves have actually been detected. The strongest signals come from two black holes in tight orbits. As the pair orbit, they push out ripples into spacetime like ripples on a pond. The fate of the two black holes is to merge into one.
