Mapping the (Event) Horizon

Posted November 3rd, 2009 by Paul Meehan

Black holes are one of the most fascinating and puzzling phenomena in astronomy – destructive in the extreme, yet believed to contain secrets about life, the Universe and, well perhaps not everything, but certainly a key to understanding more about our origins.

The BBC’s Horizon programme tonight introduces a group of scientists who are attempting to image a black hole and can hopefully then start to unlock its secrets.

Horizon: Who’s Afraid of a Big Black Hole?

Intute provides links to many resources about black holes and related astronomical phenomena.
