Upcoming Planetarium Shows

Shows are Thursdays at 7 p.m., Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and Sundays at 4 p.m. There will be no shows October 16-19 due to Radford University's Fall Break, and no shows November  27-30 (Thanksgiving Break).

The show for the Radford University Planetarium for this coming Thursday-Sunday, September 11-14 is "Supermassive Black Holes: Uncovering the Invisible."   

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 amazing 21-minute show was produced by our friends at BiD4BEST and received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 860744.
