Description

Seen by millions worldwide, Black Holes: the Other Side of Infinity is one of the most successful fulldome shows ever produced.

Narrated by Academy-Award nominated actor Liam Neeson, this cutting-edge production features high-resolution visualizations of cosmic phenomena, working with data generated by supercomputer simulations, to bring the current science of black holes to the dome screen.

Audiences will be dazzled with striking, immersive animations of the formation of the early universe, star birth and death, the collision of giant galaxies, and a simulated flight to a super-massive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy.

Supported by grants from NASA’s high-energy GLAST telescope project and the National Science Foundation, the program is accompanied by an extensive Educator’s Guide.

Produced by Thomas Lucas Productions and Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
