May 19, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

We’ve all seen black holes popping up in science fiction movies and even in some ‘end of the world’ theories, but do black holes really exist and, if so, can we find them?

Learn more about black holes and how we can spot them by linking telescopes across the globe to create ‘A Telescope the Size of the Earth,’ at ‘Imiloa’s next Maunakea Skies talk on Friday, May 19 at 7:00 p.m. with Dr. Alison Peck, representing the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) on Maunakea
