Einstein's Gravity Playlist

Albert Einstein predicted them over 100 years ago; now, we can finally hear them. Experience the symphony of space-time in Einstein's Gravity Playlist. Travel across the cosmos to witness the birth of gravitational waves and see how they are revolutionizing our understanding of the dark, mysterious side of our universe.

Cosmic Mashups

Join Dr. Becky Nevin's research into the evolution and development of supermassive blackholes found within the galaxies spread across our Universe. This program explores the dynamic relationship between galactic mergers and the activation of supermassive black holes. Produced by Fiske Planetarium in collaboration with experts from CU Boulder, the film illustrates how these celestial collisions—or "mashups"—power the centers of most galaxies. This educational feature is designed for general audiences, specifically targeting viewers aged 14 to adults.
