The new planetarium movie “Supermassive Black Holes: Uncovering the Invisible” directed by Th. Matsopoulos

Leading scientists in observational and theoretical studies of black holes and galaxies, industrial experts in cutting-edge big technologies, and professionals in science dissemination have been brought together to set up research projects which will combine the latest state-of-the-art observations, numerical simulations and innovative analytic tools to compare theory with observation, and shed light on the physics of black hole formation in the context of galaxy evolution.

This planetarium show presents the environments of the black holes in an impressive and understandable way to the audience. This is a flat screen adaptation of the Planetarium Show “Supermassive Black Holes: Uncovering the Invisible” distributed by ESO https://www.eso.org/public/videos/sup…
