Supermassive black holes are found in most galaxies and we're beginning to uncover how the merging of galaxies activate galactic centers. This engaging fulldome film was produced by Fiske Planetarium in collaboration with APS Professor, Dr. Julie Comerford and former graduate student Dr. Becky Nevin through support from an NSF award.
Admission is $8 for adults or $7 for Parkland students, seniors 62 and older, or children 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased online or are sold at the door beginning a half-hour before the show. Members of the Friends of the Staerkel Planetarium are admitted for free.
