  • A DEADLY DANCE: When Black Holes and Neutron Stars collide

    What happens when the densest objects in the universe collide at half the speed of light? It starts with a stretch of a wobble in the fabric of spacetime and sometimes ends in cosmic explosions that create some of the rarest and shiniest elements in the Universe. Together we’ll learn how some of the most massive stars in the cosmos live and die with a bang, to create the black hole and neutron star mergers we can “hear” colliding a hundred million light-years away. This 50-minute “lecture” will combine cutting-edge science and wacky humor to make the mysteries of merging black holes and neutron stars accessible to all ages and backgrounds.
