Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity

There’s a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space literally come to end. It’s at this point, inside this fantastic riddle, that black holes exert their sway over the cosmos… and our imaginations. Zip through other-worldly wormholes, experience the creation of the Milky Way Galaxy, and witness the violent death of a star and subsequent birth of a black hole. Mathematical equations, cutting-edge science, and Einstein’s theories fill in holes along the way, providing the most complete picture yet on this mysterious phenomenon. Can you feel the pull?

Narrated by actor Liam Neeson, the production features high-resolution visualizations of cosmic phenomena, working with data generated by supercomputer simulations, to bring the science of black holes to the dome. After the fulldome show, our Planetarium Educator will share some of the latest images and science, including our own galaxy's supermassive black hole.

Program length is one hour and is recommended for visitors age 8 and up. This show is not suitable for children under 5.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before show time, because late arrivals may not be seated for safety reasons in our darkened planetarium.

If you are not already familiar with the location of the planetarium, please be sure to understand our location using the map here on Eventbrite or here: Planetarium location in Google Maps For our public programs, you will be able to park in the I-37 parking lot off of Iroquois Drive directly next to Buffalo State University's Science and Math Complex which houses the planetarium.
